Next Gen Science Sessions at the Online Science Days 2020

24 selected Lindau Alumni, young scientists and young economists from all our disciplines had the opportunity to present their work during the Next Gen Science sessions. Afterwards they discussed their projects in a virtual expo booth with other participants of the Online Science Days. Find the video recordings of all six Next Gen Science sessions below.
