Annual topic: Thinking forward - creativity and innovation in the academic system

Photo: colourbox.de

Creativity is regarded as the central driving force of scientific knowledge. But how much room does it really have in today's academic system - between competition for third-party funding, the logic of applications and the pressure to excel? How can innovation potential be better recognised, promoted and utilised? And what does this mean for the scientists themselves?

On Scientists' Day, we want to talk about how creative processes in research can be supported, where innovation potential may remain untapped - and what needs to change in order to create space for new ideas. You can expect an exciting programme with diverse perspectives, space for questions and exchange.

Dates

July 22, 2025 Scientists' Day with interactive workshops, keynote and discussion, and concluding get-together in the inner courtyard.

November 5, 2025 PhD&postdoc meeting for networking and exchange.
