EVENT REVIEW

RESEARCH EXHIBITION

IN ESSENCE. PERSONALITIES OF RESEARCH

 

The Graduate School wants to provide a framework for research realization and furthermore aims to promote the works and the researchers themselves. To showcase their work, we developed the concept of a research exhibition where the individually designed research portfolios are featured next to the portraits. The exhibition was successfully on display three times and is now availiable online.
