ScienceWednesday
ScienceWednesday presents research at the Mediencampus Dieburg
At the Mediencampus Dieburg of Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, research is as diverse as the people who shape it. At ScienceWednesday, researchers offer insights into their work: they share experiences from research semesters, present findings from projects and invite participants to discuss fascinating research questions. This public series of events is aimed at all members of h_da, partners in applied research and anyone curious about current research.
ScienceWednesday takes place five to six times per semester – online and during the lunch break from 1.30 pm to 2.15 pm.
Many of the talks are recorded and are available to university members on Moodle and, in some cases, publicly on YouTube.
You can find the latest dates below. We look forward to seeing you there!
