CIMeC retreats (2008 and 2010)

The second CIMeC retreat took place on April 29, 2010 in Sardagna (Trento). The first CIMeC retreat took place on 10th June 2008. The retreat gives us a unique opportunity to discuss about the past, the present and most importantly the future of CIMeC.  The aims of the retreat are to get an overview of the research being conducted by the CIMeC members, to get to know each other better, and to discuss in an informal context the issues we face at various levels as members of this research center.Two main activities are on the agenda: research reports and informal discussion meetings. The agenda involves further opportunities of informal meetings and discussion during the coffee breaks, lunch, and concluding drinks.
