Annual Highlights

The project’s key annual events include the German Science Day/Week, which serves as a gateway for academics who want to pursue part of their studies in Germany. Additionally, the COSIMENA Summer/Winter School as well as the German Science Night offer opportunities in various disciplines, fostering academic exchange and skill development.

German Science Day/Week

More than 300 participants took part in the sixth German Science Day that was this time organised by COSIMENA in July 2017. One day long the PhD Candidates and Postdocs had the opportunity to engage with the German research landscape and to get meaningful insights and a first feedback for their planned research in Germany.

German Science Night

COSIMENA

Since 2017 COSIMENA has been offering the German Science Night annually during Ramadan. This event is inspired by the German initiative “Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften” (long night of sciences) where universities and other research institutions simplify and share scientific ideas with the public in an engaging and entertaining manner.
