MARA DAY is a day for informational exchange and networking among junior scholars at Philipps-Universität Marburg. This year we are organizing a matching fair with the theme "Interdisciplinarity as Inspiration", which seeks to encourage junior scholars of the university to engage in conversation with one another.
The matching fair provides a framework for doctoral candidates and postdocs to present their topic of research and enter into an exchange with others. You can expect about ten short presentations of about three minutes each. After the presentations, all participants will have the opportunity to discuss the presented topics at the "fair booths". The objective is to benefit from one another and encounter new ideas, arguments, connecting points and, above all, make new contacts.
Information booths and advisory services round off MARA DAY. We invite all scholars and those interested in science and research to attend this event at the Chemikum.
