Virtual RTG “Bartreat” 2020: Three days of scientific and personal exchange during the pandemic

2020/12/16

On November 12, November 24 and December 9, 2020, the RTG “Bartreat” took place. Due to the Corona pandemic, the RTG decided to merge Barcamp and Retreat and conduct them on three single days in a digital format. The Bartreat was opened with a warm welcome and an RTG overview presentation. Subsequently, each PhD gave an elevator talk about their research project. Furthermore, Q&A sessions with our RTG PIs took place, where the PhDs could pose questions about scientific working methods, interdisciplinary work, PhD experience, post PhD career etc.

RTG Associates from different disciplines also joined the event and contributed to the programme. Associate Karola Marky presented her Defence Talk “Privacy-Sovereign Interaction – Enabling Privacy-Sovereignty for End-Users in the Digital Era” to the group.

Social activities were also part of the programme: “Meet another PhD”-Tea Breaks and Playing “Among us” together added a sense of togetherness and a feeling of belonging together in the challenging times of the pandemic.
