What's the purpose of PET-CON?

PET-CON is a convention to help junior researchers, master and diploma students, to come together and exchange ideas. For this purpose, we're holding this event every six months at an easily reachable location somewhere in Germany or nearby.

The convention is organized according to the grass roots approach: from young researchers for young researchers. Therefore, there is no formal dress code, no filtering of contributions, and no participation fee. If possible, we plan the convention in a way which allows people to travel there and back home on the same day -- so that busy people can participate as well.
