16TH APRIL 2021: 3RD COLLOQUIUM FOR YOUNG RESEARCHERS IN UNDERGROUND SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (CRUST 3)

Since 2018, the Research Department organizes a Colloquium for Young Researchers in Underground Science and Technology (CRUST) in the winter semester. This colloquium not only provides networking opportunities but it is also an excellent forum for young researchers to exchange ideas, foster debates, present results and discuss problems and challenges in their research work. CRUST 1 was held on 14 th Dec 2018 with 3 minisymposia (11 presentations in total) and 10 poster presentations. CRUST 2 was held on 10 th January 2020. CRUST 1 and CRUST 2 were event, which were restricted to participants who are members of the RD SME.
