Welcome to the Lamarr Scientific Forum!

The Lamarr Scientific Forum is a two-day event that brings together the entire Lamarr community – from students to principal investigators – as well as a few close friends and partners.

The Scientific Forum will offer an important opportunity to connect across Lamarr’s locations and research areas, to reflect on current work, and to explore ideas for the future. It also provides space to recognize the contributions of our members and to strengthen our shared vision.

The meeting will take place at the University of Bonn. Accommodation information is already available under the Accommodation tab to the left, and further information about the program will be shared here soon.

For any questions, feel free to contact Brendan Balcerak Jackson at bbalcera@cs.uni-bonn.de, Zoé Sánchez at zsanchez@uni-bonn.de or Ann-Kathrin Oster at ann-kathrin.oster@tu-dortmund.de. 

 

We look forward to welcoming all Lamarr members to Bonn in September!
