What is being researched at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar?
Once a year, the Bauhaus Research School organizes a competition for young 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.
Poster competition & Elevator Pitch 2020 | »Wissenschaftstag 2020« - 18 November
The posters will be shown in advance in the university library and will be presented virtually at the »Wissenschaftstag 2020« in the form of an "Elevator Pitch" - a presentation (German or English) lasting a maximum of 90 seconds, which offers an exciting insight into the project.
