Get involved!
We’re constantly expanding VeRidium and are always looking for programmers (Unity VR) with or without science backgrounds. New collaborators for creating new modules, please get in touch! Furthermore, every feedback is appreciated. Join us for the VeRidium User Meeting on every first Monday of February, May, August and November. Always 3 pm CET – details will be announced here.
