Program Committee

Role
 

The role of the Program Committee (PC) is to oversee and provide advisory input to the program, given the inter-institutional nature of QSciTech and the participation of several industrial partners. Its members meet twice a year to review the performance of the program and optimize its strategic impact in terms of training, adequacy with industrial needs, recruitment quality, equity, and sustainability.
