2020 Retreat & PRS Summer School – Cluster of Excellence PhoenixD

The more than 100 members of the interdisciplinary Cluster of Excellence PhoenixD will meet in September for their second closed meeting on the Mechanical Engineering Campus in Garbsen. There the scientists will inform themselves about their current research results in numerous lectures.

Doctoral students and post-docs will also have the opportunity to present their current research topics in a poster session. The approximately 30 members of the PhoenixD Research School (PRS) meet one day before the joint retreat for a one-day PRS Autumn School. The conference programme will be continuously updated and published here. The conference language is English.
