Please join us for our #Girls’Day 2023 virtual event!

Aim: each session hosts a scentist (and short film where available) who speaks about their CV and project work in their respective project in Berlin or Bochum. We hope you are inspired and that we meet you again soon in a short internship in one of our projects!

Concluding words

---

The Berlin-Bochum Memory Alliance is a group of DFG-funded research projects focused on neuroscience and memory research. Five scientists – at all career stages –speak about their path to research on synapses and neural circuits, philosophy of language and cognition, modeling of episodic memory, and clinical studies of cognitive processes. Alliance scientists, including a principal investigator, a postdoc, and several graduate students, share their career path to various areas of memory research. Talks in English, and a certifictate of attendance available after the event.
