Retreats
Our joint Women's Retreat with SFB 1233 "Robust Vision" was a wonderful success!
The event featured fascinating science talks by our talented junior researchers, as well as inspiring career talks by Kristine Krug and Katrin Franke, followed by a lively and honest discussion. Participants also enjoyed an engaging Body Language Workshop planned in coorpertaion with Deutscher Hochschulverband and a plenty of time for informal exchange over shared meals and stimulating conversations.
Overall, the event highlighted the importance of community, dialogue, and mutual support in advancing women in science.

We are pleased to announce that our 1st Annual Sensing Loops Retreat from March 19th until the 21st, 2024 in Potsdam was a full success. We spent 3 intense days together at the beautiful island of Hermannswerder in Potsdam, enjoying insightful presentations, discussing our science, engage in lively discussion and connecting with colleagues from our consortium.
Huge thanks to all individuals who made this inaugural LOOPs retreat an unforgettable experience.


Following the retreat, the majority of the LOOPs PhD students and postdocs, alongside Julio Hechavarria (Loops PI) and our esteemed guest, Mototaka Suzuki (from University of Amsterdam), continued their stay. They engaged in insighful discussions on career guidance and efficiency skills, presented their own projects and participated in workshops focusing on soft skills. It was a great opportunity to further connect among early-stage scientists.
