The PICAIS Coffee Talk is a regularly held networking event that not only brings together all PICAIS Fellows currently completing their scholarships in Passau but also provides a platform for interested researchers from the University of Passau to exchange ideas in a relaxed setting. Our Fellows will briefly present their research projects; after that, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and network.
The next PICAIS Coffee Talk will take place on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm in the Professor’s Lounge (Cafeteria Building, 1st Floor, Room 254).
