The third CNMAT OpenLab will take place online on April 23, 2021, 3pm-4pm PST.
OpenLabs are open events where CNMAT's life and projects can be shared with the community.
Each OpenLab is made by a series of 4 quick talks (10 mins + 5 mins questions) for 1hr total. The general idea of these talks is to provide an overview of the current activities at CNMAT to foster collaborations and develop ideas.
