From Observations and Experiments to Modelling Styles
An event to foster interaction and collaboration between the muldisciplinary researchers at the ISTC.
Theoreticians, modellers and experimentalists have each presented and discussed their reciprocal tools to do scientific inquiry.
The event was organized by Luca Tummolini
