The SGSMA Association organizes a series of technical events (webinars, town hall, etc.) aimed at keeping the community engaged and informed about the latest advances in the field of synchronized measurements. Such events will be held by Distinguished SGSMA Lecturers (DSL), well-known engineers working in this specialized area, who will share their expertise, thus providing the Association with an invaluable support in accomplishing its mission.

The program description and application to become a DSL Program expert may be found here. If you wish to become a DSL program expert, please send the application to carlo.muscas@unica.it
