We are pleased to announce that the TReND Kick-off Camp was a complete success! From 29th?-30thOctober, seven of the 12 TReND Fellows were guests at the University of Münster and spent two productive days together with their supervisors, while three Fellows participated remotely. It was an exciting two days as this event marked the official start of the TReND doctoral training programme and was also the first face-to-face meeting of the consortium. During the camp, the participants had the opportunity to work on a joint theoretical framework, leading to in-depth discussions and valuable insights from the different perspectives of the consortium. In addition, we had the opportunity to network with other MSCA doctoral networks as we welcomed Prof. Raoul Bongers from the?REPAIRS?doctoral network and Prof. Christian Kray from the?SCALA?doctoral network. It was great to experience such an open and engaging atmosphere during the Kick-off Camp, which will serve as a solid foundation for a productive and inspiring doctoral training programme, as well as foster numerous collaborations within the TReND consortium.
