“Ask the BUA!” – Panel discussion and dialog groups

Invitation to digital event for all questions about the Berlin University Alliance (BUA)

What is the goal of the Berlin University Alliance? How can the BUA support my research? What can the alliance offer me as a student? How does the BUA affect my unit or university? What does an integrated research environment look like? And: How can I get involved?

The success of this Alliance of Excellence depends on the ideas and dedication of its researchers, teachers, students, and staff – on us all. It is essential that we continue to share, discuss and work with one another.

That is why the Board of Directors of the Berlin University Alliance would also like to start a conversation with you and is inviting you to a digital panel discussion and dialog on:

Monday, 18 January 2021, from 11:30 to 13:15

Please submit your binding registration in advance. You will receive the access link after registering. Please note that this event will be held in German.
