On November 7, the annual Reedijk symposium will take place. At this internal symposium, aimed for all employees and master students, work from our researchers will be presented in talks and posters. This year, we have the honour of welcoming Craig Crews (Yale University) and Petra de Jongh (Utrecht University) as our invited speakers. From inside the LIC, Dennis Hetterscheid, Kim Bonger, Justina Moss, Jeroen Codee, Jaco Geuchies, Storm van der Voort and Anjali Pandit will present their work.
