Pre-Conference Postgraduate Workshop
Monday, 5th September 2016
The day before the start of the main Mechatronics 2016 conference, a workshop dedicated to postgraduate students will take place. The aim of the workshop is twofold: to provide students with technical information and activities specific to their career stage; and to allow students to meet and build up a future network of peers. The workshop will include technical lectures, hands-on sessions provided by leading companies such as dSpace, MathWorks and National Instruments and collaborative competition activities with a prize to be won for the best research idea.
