Doctoral Seminar June 2021

The doctoral seminar was created as a compensation for the retreat, since that could not take place on-site in 2020 and 2021. The annual internal retreat is designed as a platform where doctoral researchers inform each other about their latest research results and open issues. It is a forum for knowledge transfer and information exchange. It follows a Docs-for-Docs concept, where they select content and conference style. The doctoral researchers give presentations on current research topics (both results and open issues).
