Thesis-Symposium 2021 // 8 May

Wissenschaft — eine mentale Herausforderung

Hier geht es zur Anmeldung für den 1. Teil am 08.05.2021

Wissenschaft ist wunderbar. Man recherchiert, grübelt, analysiert. Man stellt einen Plan auf, verwirft ihn wieder und probiert drauf los. Man verzweifelt, freut sich, hasst sich, wundert sich. Wissenschaft ist wie Tetris: Wir wollen hoch hinaus. Lauter Puzzleteile mit interessanten Formen, die es zu sortieren gilt. Ständig kommen neue Teile. Von Level zu Level steigt der Zeitdruck. Man darf den Überblick nicht verliert, sonst bricht alles – oder man selbst – zusammen. Aber eigentlich macht das alles richtig, richtig viel Spaß … Oder?

In unserem Symposium wollen wir mit euch über die mentalen, psychischen und physischen Herausforderungen in diesem Sammel- und Sortierprozess – der Wissenschaft – diskutieren. HEUREKA!
