Scientific Meetings (Type: Workshop and Awards)
Interactive discussions of the latest scientific developments in a particular field
VIF workshops create a learning-by-doing atmosphere through discussion/interaction among the
working professionals (who has a desire to learn more, who are in a career transition,
or are considering a career change).
The workshop sessions/tracks are designed to
make the day as productive and comfortable as possible.
Our workshops usually involve a limited number of people who deeply discuss a particular
topic with creativity. It is more than knowledge transfer and a place to share experiences and develop skills.

part of learning and developing new skills (beyond the immediate economic impact).
