The CERIS Open Day took place on 27th and 28th October, at INATEL Oeiras, and brought together about 79 PhD students and PhD researchers at CERIS. The event aimed at promoting the interaction between young researchers at CERIS.

The event included team building activities, oral presentations, keynotes, a training session on writing tips for scientific papers and a roundtable on job opportunities after PhD. The event’s highlight was the session “after dinner” where participants made a 3-minute pitch thus leading to a relaxed and fun atmosphere.

According to the executive board of CERIS the next editions will have the same success as this first one: “the goal for the next editions will be to motivate students to participate in such events”. The participants feedback at the end of the event was, in general, very positive.
