We are excited to announce the Angewandte Research Days 2026, taking place from 13 to 15 October at the Atrium and Auditorium. Organized by Support Art and Research, this event offers a structured platform for researchers within the Angewandte community to present their projects, share insights, and engage in meaningful dialogue with colleagues and experts.
The aim to enhance the visibility of ongoing research and foster exchange across disciplines. We warmly invite researchers and doctoral students to contribute by sharing their experiences and (preliminary) outcomes. Internal and external reviewers will provide valuable feedback to enrich the discussions.
We look forward to your contributions and the exchange!
