Participants have the opportunity to learn about the Information & Communication Technology Infrastructure offered and developed by the HBP, and how to use it for their own research. They will further get the chance to meet other researchers with similar interests, work in small groups and get support on their projects from the HBP Platform experts.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.800000190734863px;"><span class=""><span class=""><span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16.100000381469727px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.800000190734863px;"><span class=""><span class=""><b class=""><span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16.100000381469727px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(75, 172, 198);">Programme structure<o:p class=""></o:p></span></b></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.800000190734863px;"><span class=""><span class=""><span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16.100000381469727px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Keynote lectures<o:p class=""></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.800000190734863px;"><span class=""><span class=""><span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16.100000381469727px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Break-out sessions<o:p class=""></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.800000190734863px;"><span class=""><span class=""><span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16.100000381469727px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Project work and presentations<o:p class=""></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 13.800000190734863px;"><span class=""><span class=""><span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16.100000381469727px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.800000190734863px;"><span class=""><span class=""><span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16.100000381469727px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The event is targeted towards young researchers (Master and PhD students as well as early postdocs) both from within and outside the HBP and will answer the following questions:<o:p class=""></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: -18pt; line-height: 13.800000190734863px;"><span class=""><span class=""><span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16.100000381469727px; font-family: Symbol;"><span class="">·<span class="" style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span></span><span lang="EN-GB" class="" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 16.100000381469727px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I have obtained experimental data and want to include it in a simulation or compare simulated results using one of the HBP Platforms.<br class="">Which one do I use?
