CiM-IMPRS retreat 2025

A retreat in Berlin is always something special.
We stayed at the Harnackhaus of the Max Planck Society from 26 to 27 August. The Social and Scientific Events Team had prepared a fantastic workshop on "Scientific Methods".
The participants formed groups and exchanged information on the cutting-edge methods they are using. This was meant to provide knowledge to the participants and to foster collaborations between laboratories.
We also had an excursion to Potsdam where we visited the Albert Einstein Science parc, the city center and Sanssouci Palace.

The Social and Scientific Events Team had prepared a great workshop on "Scientific Collaborations".
The participants were divided into several groups and each group came up with a collaborative project, presented on a poster. That went extremely well and we had a lot of fun with it. Our excursion led us to the Atta Cave in Attendorn cooling us all down a little.
A big "Thank you" to the Social and Scientific Events Team that prepared everything so well!
