This year’s conference will be at Stockholm University on February 5-7. It will be filled with workshops, poster presentations, and interactive discussions, with ample opportunity for networking. We would like to thank Stockholm University for hosting the conference. With their generous support we have been able to expand the it to the entire WASP-HS community, PhD students, supervisors, PIs. A few sessions (marked with * in the program below) will also be open to the general public.
Please join us and contribute to the conversation!
This year, WASP-HS will host the first annual WASP-HS Exchange. We look forward to a conversation between an internationally renowned guest researcher and a WASP-HS researcher on innovation policy and autonomous vehicles.
