The NEOMATRIX Final meeting was held on 5-6 December 2024 by FORTH in Heraklion. The event was organized by Dr. Argyro Naflioti (FORTH) in the form of a hybrid two-day event, which included sessions with the objective to share the project’s scientific results among partners. You can now view the recordings of this seminar in two parts! (Unfortunately due to a technical problem, the first four talks in Day 1 are missing from the recording.)
