What is being researched at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar?
Once a year, the Bauhaus Research School organizes a competition for early stage researchers, designers and artists. Prizes are awarded by an interdisciplinary jury for the most successful scientific communication and for the best posters and elevator pitches. In addition to the jury, the audience also awards prizes to the posters and presentations that they consider to be the best.
»Wissenschaftstag 2021« - 17th November
Poster Contest & Elevator Pitch 2021
