The introductory days were the first training event gathering the 6 recruited Doctoral Candidates of the USES2 community, along with their supervisors and the supervisors of the other PhD topics, to give an overall look on the USES2 project and the training events for the upcoming 3 years.

It took place in Université Gustave Eiffel, Marne-la-Vallée campus, on the 7th, 8th and 9th of November 2023.

It was a great chance for the USES2 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) to get to know each other, to meet all the Consortium members, to know where they will go for their secondments and to discuss much more than that.
