Priority Program Kick-Off Meeting

The kick-off meeting of the priority program took place from September 11 to 13, 2024 in Osnabrück. It was attended by 76 participants, around half of whom were PhD and Master's students. The scientific program consisted of a scientific presentation on each of the nine core topics of the SPP. In addition, there was a mentoring session for prospective and current PhD students, as well as an event in the form of a World Cafe, which served to network the projects. The next annual conference will take place in Hanover in 2025.
