The Research Training Group organises a variety of events. The IGRA Colloquium and various workshops facilitate scientific exchange with external researchers; internal exchange in the Research Training Group takes place in the biannual retreats.

IGRA colloquium (Current semester)

The colloquium takes place Wednesday, 3.15–4.45pm.
Location: Campus Augustusplatz, Hörsaalgebäude, Hörsaal 11
