On Thursday, 17th July 2025, members of the research community gathered at BarSol Bar for an informal networking event titled Sip & Chat. The evening offered an opportunity for early-career researchers, students, and university affiliates to engage in open dialogue, foster interdisciplinary connections, and enjoy a relaxed social atmosphere outside the academic environment.
Beginning at 7:00 PM, the event encouraged a lively interaction and participation. Whether newly arrived or well-established within the academic landscape of Magdeburg, attendees appreciated the welcoming and inclusive character of the evening.
Open to all students, researchers, and members of the wider university community, Sip & Chat exemplified the value of academic exchange and highlighted the importance of social cohesion within the scientific environment.
The event was warmly received and is anticipated to become a recurring fixture in the calendar of community-building initiatives.
Organized by the DZNE PhD Representatives and the IRTG1436 Coordinator:
