Gabriel Rochinha Morgado, NaMeS PhD student, visited center University of Strathclyde and participated in 31^st International Symposium of Rarefied Gas Dynamics, Glasgow, UK. He presented lectures – “DSMC simulations of Turing patterns in concentrated growing systems”.

Richard Löffler attended the 2018 Conference on Artificial Life (ALIFE 2018), which was held at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) in Tokyo Japan. He presented his work on self-propelled paraffin droplets.

Ashmita Bose, NaMeS PhD student, participated in the ‘Hands-on Research in Complex System school’ arranged by International center for Theoretical Physics(ICTP), Italy. School participants got exposure to many different form of work on Nonlinear Complex System.

Yu-Ting Kao and Yu-Kai Lai, NaMeS PhD students, participated in the Microfluidics Professional Course which took place in a prestigious academic institute, University of Toronto. The lecture modules covered microfluidic technology and its research progress nowadays which is a fresh view for to see how other groups utilize microfluidic and apply on research.

Faria Khan, NaMeS PhD student, took part in the Euro Science open forum 2018, which was a great networking event to bring about scientists, researchers, policy makers, students, innovators and journalists under one platform. Participation in the event was enlightening and engaging for her with a lot of parallel sessions, activities and satellite events taking place in the city of Toulouse.

Ayesha Khan, NaMeS PhD student, participated in the 3^rd International Symposium on Energy and Environmental Photocatalytic Materialsorganized by Jagiellonian University, Poland. During the event she presented a poster entitled “Selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde via photocatalysis” (Ayesha Khan, Juan Carlos Colmenares, Roger Gläser).

On the 11^th-12^th June, 2018 the 2-Day Author Training Academy was held in the assembly hall of the IPC PAS. The workshop discussed how to write a manuscript and successfully submit it to a journal. The training was addressed to all IPC researchers and in particular to the NaMeS and IDS PhD students. The meeting was attended by ca. 80 people.

Carolina Cruz Cardona and Horacio Serna, NaMeS PhD students, participated in the CONIN workshop that took place in Madrid. The workshop was organized as a part of the Horizon 2020 RISE project "Effects of confinement on inhomogeneous systems" (CONIN).

Airit Agasty and Ying Zhou, NaMeS PhD students, participated in the Xth WINTER BIOPHYSICAL WORKSHOP, organized by the Molecular Biophysics Division of Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan.

Faria Khan, NaMeS PhD student, took part in the election and voting at MCAA General Assembly. On day one she participated in several networking events and workshops that took place including ERC grant writing, career development and mentoring sessions, career choices and development.
