It started at 2.30 pm until 4.30 pm and included a Question-and-Answer (Q&A) session between the panel and the participants. In the pre-registration phase, there were more than 194 registrations and all participants (across the faculty) have attended the program until the end. The majority of these participants were PhD students (from semester 1 to 6) compared to Master’s students.
