Dear all

Since our group will continue to grow in the near future (with two more PhDs in summer), I have decided to establish a second, more informal, forum alongside the seminar, so that we can meet as a group once a month. Main part of the meetings is that each of us shares key findings and challenges from the last month (as a starting point for deeper bilateral discussions and to promote collaboration by discussing intersections of our work). Beyond research, we will use this time to take care of planning and logistics and admin.

More info can be found here: Group_Meetings_25.docxhttps://unibe365.sharepoint.com/:w:/t/unibe-588.az/ESpyXlfY0kNNs_I8Baz0Va4BZjaNH9T_OWQ2b7iXBIxvjg?e=oNnVPd (I hope the link works)

I have sent out invitations via the calendar — please reserve the following dates (it's not a problem at all if you can't make it on one or other of the dates):

April 9, 13-14 May 7, after seminar June 11, 13-14 July 2, 13-14 August 13, 13-14 September 10, 13-14 October 15, 13-14 (or maybe after seminar) November 12, 13-14 (or maybe after seminar) December 10, 13-14 (or maybe after seminar)

Best, Kaspar
