Research Seminars

Research Seminars

The three Departments run series of research seminars devoted to their specific research themes. The seminars provide the opportunity for both external and internal researchers to report on their current projects and to discuss them with the Institute’s members. Most of the seminars are open to students of the Goethe-Universität Frankfurt or the Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen after prior registration.
