The Digital Society Programme and the SSH Council are organising a day on 21 May 2026 for the assistant and associate professors appointed under the Cross-cutting Theme (DDT) sector plan. You are cordially invited to attend.
The aim of the conference is to bring the sectorplan community together, both to discuss specific themes and to provide more general information relevant to early-career researchers. It is an opportunity to learn more about each other’s research and experiences as sectorplan researchers. The conference will facilitate, among other things, an exchange of research (and teaching) activities, networking opportunities and the provision of information on calls and application processes.
In addition to assistant and associate professors, other sectorplan staff are also welcome, including lab managers and support and coordination staff.
Participation is free, but registration is required for catering purposes. Will we see you there?
