The talented and focused young researchers had a unique opportunity to attend workshops in mechatronics, mathematics, physics, polymer engineering, and computer sciences. Although many of the workshops had to be held online in lieu of the coronavirus pandemic, the students continued to conduct and turn in high-quality work. 35 students attended the closing ceremony at the JKU on Friday, October 16, and were presented with certificates in recognition of their outstanding work.
