Discover the concept of Night Science — the creative and exploratory side of discovery, as described by Itai Yanai and Martin Lercher.

The workshop covers presentations, exercises and group discussion designed to help you to:
Explore how creativity drives scientific innovation
Learn strategies to generate and refine research questions
Discover ways to integrate creative thinking into everyday academic life
Trainer: Prof. Dr. Martin G. Bleichner
