Mittagsforum@IfP

In the “Mittagsforum” (Lunch Forum), employees of the institute as well as external guests present planned, ongoing and completed research projects and put them up for discussion. The contributions have a theme that changes from semester to semester. The “Mittagsforum” is currently organised and chaired by Prof. Dr Michael Kaeding and Dr. Kristina Weissenbach.

Guests are welcome at any time. Registration is not required.

If you are interested in submitting your own research projects for discussion, please contact Prof Dr Michael Kaeding (michael.kaeding@uni-due.de) at any time, regardless of the topic and status of the project.
