Cybernetics Seminar Series

Internationally known scientific guests present topics that are of general interest - also for colleagues from other research fields. Each seminar is followed by a reception, which provides direct access to the speakers in an informal setting.

Time: Every Friday at 11:00 a.m.
Place: TBA
