Winter School,
Akademie Frankenwarte, Würzburg |
The doctoral and postdoctoral researchers of TRR 174 spent one week in a conference hotel to train the design of scientific figures and improve their knowledge in computer-aided statistical analysis and data representation.

3.5-Day Retreat,
BLSV-Haus BergSee, Spitzingsee |
At this retreat in a remote seminar hotel in the Bavarian Alps, the doctoral researchers, postdocs and PIs of TRR 174 had ample time to exchange their results and ideas. All early-career scientists working in the consortium gave presentations of their projects, followed by intensive discussions of the data and the potential to start additional collaborations. Moreover, they met without the PIs to discuss issues and collect suggestions for activities. In parallel, the PIs gathered to determine the directions of the consortium in the second half of the funding period. Various group activities and ample spare time fostered informal interactions among all TRR 174 members.
