The ASST board.
Thank you all for joining this year’s ASST DGESS Scientific Staff Christmas Party, which took place on 14 December 2017 at the GESS Lounge! The questions were tough as always, perhaps even tougher – but this couldn’t stop the highly engaged teams from giving their best and conquering awesome prices!
