A couple of months into the autumn term, one of our Themes want to talk to more people about what they, together with their international Fellow, are currently working with. So: Welcome to an open event – Responsible Neurotechnologies Symposium – here at the Pufendorf Institute on 20 November.

International guests and interdisciplinarity

The whole idea  with Pufendorf IAS is that researchers from different disciplines work together on a scientific problem. The Theme Neurotechnologies: For responsible development and use work with... exactly what their name suggests. 

On 20 November at 09.00-15.00 (incl. lunch for participants who have registered) they invite you to an international symposium:
