The first ever virtual jSchool officially ended today – we had the pleasure to experience all teams presenting the research projects that they will be working on throughout the next 13 months. What followed was the JRP Closing Ceremony, which ended with the official induction – the moment in which the young researchers officially became part of JRP!
Congratulations to the whole cohort on their amazing presentations and an official welcome as JRP members!
