International Study Trip
Every year we organize a study trip abroad for students and lecturers to visit a foreign university and/or research institute. During this trip we will get in touch with international renowned researchers who elaborate on their state-of-the-art experiments. In previous years we have been to Rome, Marseille, Cambridge, Berlin, London and Leipzig.
In academic year 2014-2015 we visited the University of Bordeaux, read the report.
