At the end of May, almost 70 young researchers from ELEMENTS and our partner institutions spend 5 days at the very successful FAIR Next Generation Scientists (FAIRness) Workshop in Greece. Stemming from both the theoretical and experimental field, the talks and panel discussions covered a wide variety of topics, ranging from dense nuclear matter to phase transitions of quantum chromodynamics and more. Next to international experts, all participants had the chance to contribute oral presentations and posters. Everyone engaged in fruitful scientific discussions and international networking, which will help in shaping future research across our field.
