We are pleased to offer all Early Career (EC) Researchers the opportunity to engage in an open experience exchange with the Visiting Professor. In this interdisciplinary seminar, Prof. Bräunl will briefly present aspects of his work, but the focus will be on the questions and issues raised by you, the EC participants in this seminar. Each of you will give a 5-minute presentation of your work (at the level you are at). You will have the opportunity to discuss topics related to your own doctoral or post-doctoral research with Prof. Bräunl in an informal setting.

You can also discuss possible career paths and funding or publication opportunities in Australia, and benefit from Professor Bräunl's experience. This can also be a starting point for bilateral discussions at a later date.

Please prepare any questions that you would like to discuss with Thomas Bräunl in advance.
