NuGOweek 2015
180 people gathered in Barcelona for the 12th edition of NuGOweek. In addition to the core conference programme, we organised a PhD course (attended by 30 people) and three workshops; JPI-projects FOODBALL and ENPADASI and MICROGENNET/the MGP project. Several smaller business meetings completed the programme.
The University of Barcelona surprised us with a video of the opening session, which includes snippets from several participants. Click here to access the video.
