The Adlershof Research Forum (AFF) is a full-day conference co-organized by Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, IGAFA e. V. and WISTA Management GmbH and serves as a platform for location-based scientific exchange in Adlershof. It provides an overview of current local research – the ‘Adlershof knowledge’.
To mark the conclusion of Berlin Science Week, the Adlershof Research Forum offers lectures and short presentations on current topics by leading researchers and business representatives from the Adlershof Science and Technology Park.
The conference is accompanied by a poster session, which offers the perfect opportunity to present your own research to a wide audience, receive valuable feedback and make new contacts. It begins with a pitching session, during which participants have one minute each to present their posters. The pitch is a quick way to draw attention to your research and spark the audience’s interest.
Why is it worth taking part?
- Gain visibility: Present your research and its progress to the interdisciplinary Adlershof community.
- Receive feedback: Take the opportunity to gain valuable feedback on your research and gain new perspectives.
