Presentation of Research Programme for the Third Funding Phase

The weekly colloquium of the Collaborative Research Centre provides a forum for presentations by external guests as well as by members of the SFB 1199 within a tailored thematic framework. The format helps to create a common ground for discussion between guests, the Collaborative Research Centre, as well as the wider academic public.

In this week’s session we will discuss the presentation of the research results of the current funding phase as well as the presentation of the research programme for a possible third funding phase during the review by the DFG-commission in June.

The session will be held in presence, but it is also possible to access it online. To join, please click the button below.
