Young Researcher Workshop

To promote the scientific exchange among young scientists beyond specific collaborations a YR workshop of three or four days is organized and run by the YRs every second year. Participants present results of their work and general discussions between the participants are strongly promoted.

Announcement of the 6. YR Workshop (Oct 2021)

The last Young Researcher Workshop is planned from 11 October to 14 October 2021 at Riva del Garda, Italy. The program includes a one and a half days rhetoric training course with a focus on improving your presentation skills. The course is given by Karina Hagemann from 'Mensch und Kommunikation'. Various events like evening and outdoor activities are scheduled.
