At NECSTLab we organize many events: academics but also industrials, because we believe that developing an entrepreneurial mindset will be helpfull for students no matter the career path they will choose after graduation.
We believe in the importance of giving the students the chance of presenting their own projects and confront themselves with corporates approach and needs.
NECST Summer Workshop (NSW)
Organized for the first time in 2006, the NECST Summer Workshop is a yearly event, held at the end of July for team building and opinion sharing. This an event to present the work done over the year and discuss new ideas. This year more than 50 students have attended the event.
NECST Group Conference (NGC)
The NECST Group Conference (NGC) is the NECSTLab yearly event, held in San Francisco and in the Silicon Valley area, between May and June. The event was born from the idea of giving students the chance, by attending an international conference, to understand what does it means to do research and networking and how to confront their own work with existing state of art. Moreover during the event they are exposed to some of the most important companies in the Bay Area having also the chance to present their own projects and get precious feedbacks. In 2019 the tenth edition (aka NGCX) was held. Find out more details about this milestone of the NECSTLab.
