Student Publications: June 2021 Papers are now published

ByJuls Davies

We are pleased to announce that the ECSDN Student Papers have now been published!

This has been the most successful call for papers, the huge number of papers required significant reconfiguration of the website.

We are grateful to Juliette Davies for her dedication and hard work getting the papers to publication.

We hope you enjoy reading the papers and find them a useful resource for your students

Best wishes
