SoSe 2026: PhD Seminar
In the summer term 2026, the Professorship for Global Nutrition and Trade organises the new PhD Seminar in the Zeughaus. Every week, one PhD researcher presents ongoing work for 20-30 minutes, followed by a 30-40 minutes discussion.
The seminar takes place on Tuesdays from 12:30-13:30 in seminar room S4 on the first floor of the Zeughaus (Senckenbergstraße 3, 35390 Gießen). The full schedule can be found below. Every researcher in the Zeughaus is invited to join the seminar series.
You are also invited to bring your lunch - eating is allowed! While we prefer meeting in person, attendance is also possible in the hybrid room.
