The Research Colloquium provides a forum for exchanging thoughts on ongoing and completed research studies and projects conducted in the two departments. The purpose is to enhance academic discussion and motivate future collaboration among researchers across centers and with external stakeholders. Besides members of the departments, invited external guests are also welcome, if they their research is in the scope of the two departments.

The colloquium typically takes place on Wednesdays from 14:00-16:00 and all those who are interested are invited to participate. The past and future program is published below.

To propose a talk at the colloquium, please send an email to tobias.ley@donau-uni.ac.at giving the names of presenters, title of the talk and abstract, links to further information (if available) and possible presentations dates.
