Some impressions from the PASC Conference student volunteers
"Volunteering at the three days PASC22 event was such an impactful experience! Especially after pandemic, it was a great opportunity for scientific networking to develop lasting peer connections with renowned researchers and industry specialists. By attending technical talks, I learned about the on-going development in the technological world. Nevertheless, I gained a new perspective for understanding the various aspects involved in coordination of a large event."
"Thank you and the whole team very much for the organization! It was a wonderful experience for me to work as a volunteer again for PASC. The hybrid mode did bring some challenges for everyone, yet I enjoyed solving the issues with the super kind staff team that was ready to help any minute! For me it was very exciting once we pulled through together as team. I would definitely like to come back again as a volunteer next year!"
