Learning from each other and generating ideas

Our research thrives on networking and exchange. The seminar series and workshops enable our young researchers to familiarise themselves with the research work of guest researchers from all over the world and to present their own work and ideas and develop them further in discussions.

Our annual research workshop promotes the exchange of research work within the entire faculty. This is a particularly good opportunity for young researchers to present their current work. Every two years, we leave the familiar university environment to further strengthen the sense of community.
