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.
Annual faculty research workshop
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.
In the TRR 266/TAF seminars, renowned researchers from all over the world present their results. The work is prepared together in advance and the methods are critically discussed. Brown bag seminars also offer doctoral candidates a critical discussion platform with the entire faculty for their work in the development phase.
