On 30 September 2026, the fifth BACCARA Annual Conference — the “Power Day” — took place at Schloss Münster. As every year, the conference was largely shaped by a PhD organising team, resulting in a well-rounded and varied programme of scientific talks, poster pitches, as well as ample opportunities for networking. Prof Dr Martin Winter (MEET, University of Münster / Helmholtz Institute Münster) welcomed more than 100 participants in his role as Scientific Speaker of the BACCARA International Graduate School. He also closed the event, including the presentation of the poster prizes. read more
