Researchers Night 2024
The Tor Vergata University of Rome organized an event in the framework of the European Researchers Night 2024. MASS Edition-1 students participated in the event by preparing short summaries of their Master theses, which were translated to Italian and assembled into a dedicated brochure that was distributed to the public on 28/09/2024.
