Each semester 3-4 guest speakers come to the RTG to give us an insight into their current projects and to discuss their research and hot topics in their respective fields with our PhD students. After each talk we continue our discussions over dinner at a local restaurant!
Everyone is welcome to join the talks, no sign-ups required! If you want to join us for dinner afterwards, please let us know in advance!
