Building bridges across faculties and institutes – that is one of our main goals at MAPEX. With the Workshop we encourage early-career researchers to boost their careers through interdisciplinary exchange. Our fully booked 13th Early Career Researcher Workshop hosted Christiane Heinicke, Tanja Hörner, Patric Seefeldt, Ella M. Schmidt, Björn Lüssem and Lisa T. Belkacemi. Participants had a lively program with project presentations, poster sessions and mini golf.
