IONS Scandinavia. Status and post activities.
- IONS Scandinavia 2018 was a huge success and secured funding for a number of activities and events.
- Current status on budget is that we have some surplus funds - mainly due to the budget not incorporating that DTU-Lys is a non-profit organization = expenses not taxed.
- Planned post-IONS activity: None
Fall activities arranged by DTU Lys.
- Aiming for two DTU-Lys Colloquia, based on lectures from opponents at Ivan’s defense and Dagmawi’s defense. Manoj will contact Ivan’s opponent. Jesper will do likewise with Dagmawi’s opponent through secretary of division Mette Særgaard.
- Initiated plans for Lunch with Industry vol. 2, aimed to take place in beginning/middle October. Targeted companies are OFS, Foss, and 3-shape. In talk with Jakob Janting, President of DOPS, with who the activities are hoped to be shared. (Back-up companies, Bifrost, FaunaPhotonics, and Ibsen).
