The life of the Center
LSM Retreat
The LSM carried out a scientific retreat, where students and young researchers presented their work. There was also a panel discussion on energy consumption in High Performance Computing (HPC) that involved the wohle audience.
IT Science Retreat/AWI New Year's Event
The day started with the IT Science retreat for group leaders and was an enriching experience that fostered both professional growth and personal connections. It took place in the Kraftwerk location in Zurich.
LSM Christmas
A very special culinary experience awaited the LSM people in the Lemmon Fondue Chalet in Baden.
