Support for OUTREACH
At BioEM 2024, the leading conference for the field of RF-EMF exposure, OUTREACH was introduced for the first time. The support was overwhelming.
-
The paper won the 2nd-place student oral presentation award
-
Over 30 support forms signed
-
The idea was picked up in other workshops during the conference
After the conference, OUTREACH started phase 1: garnering support within academia. When the first phase finished in September, we now move on with the second phase: reaching out to industry!
