You are (literally) warmly invited to the summer edition of our Junior Faculty Meeting on July 1 at 4:00 PM, held at the Faculty Club (Schöpfstr. 41, 1st floor).
This time, instead of welcoming new tenure-track colleagues, we will hear from more experienced members and celebrate the successful completion of their QVs, see agenda below.
