Tuesday Talks

Each semester, the Centre invites all interested individuals to attend the “Tuesday Talks” series. This semester, we are joining the initiative of a lecture series titled "De-Collecting," in collaboration with the joint project "Cultural Techniques of Collecting." Additionally, we are cooperating with the Erfurt Chair of History of Science, the Göttingen Chair of Modern History, as well as SCIFA Science Facilitation (Berlin/Gotha), and KOLUMBA, the Art Museum of the Archdiocese of Cologne (Cologne).
