Why do researchers keep coming back to IK since 1997?
It's not just the courses; it's the midnight conversations, serendipitous collaborations, poster sessions where a PhD student's question reshapes a professor's thinking. The interdisciplinary mind-storm. Pure-bottled academic reinvigoration. ππ§ π‘
