Research Colloquium
The research colloquium serves as a platform for scientific exchange between postdoctoral researchers, doctoral candidates, students, and external guests in the fields of exercise, nutrition, and health. In addition to various guest lectures by international experts, postdoctoral researchers and doctoral candidates present their current research projects, and selected students have the opportunity to showcase their final theses to a broader audience. The colloquium is held as a hybrid event.
