Abend der offenen Tür / Open House Night
Are you a Bachelor or Master student in Computer Science or related programs? Wondering what all those professors and research assistants are actually doing when they don't teach one of your classes? What will you be doing to write your Bachelor's or Master's thesis? What is life as a doctoral student like? And what is this thing called "research"?
Come to our Open House Night and find out!
Every few months, another computer science chair will open their doors to their research labs and offices, the professor will be there to explain to you what their research goals are, and actual PhD students will be there to tell you about their current research projects.
And if you still need another reason - of course there is free food and drinks!
The Open House Night usually takes place on the third Tuesday of the month from 5:30pm till 7pm during the semester at the Computer Science Building, Ahornstr. 55 (directions).
So come by, and bring your fellow students. This is for you!
Food and drinks for the events are kindly provided by Microsoft EMIC.
