The PICAIS coffee talk took place for the first time in spring 2023 and has now become a regular event from and for our PICAIS Fellows. It is aimed to bring together not only all PICAIS Fellows, that are currently doing their fellowship in Passau, but also interested scientists from the University of Passau to connect and chat about science with our fellows in a casual setting.
Therefore, we cordially invite you to get to know the PICAIS Fellows at our joint networking event.

On December 6, we hosted another exciting Coffee Talk. The event continued the successful tradition of our previous PICAIS Coffee Talks, at which the PICAIS Fellows presented their current projects. In this context, the participants of the University of Passau gained fascinating insights into the research of the two international scientists Prof. Dr. Hoda Zobeiri (The University of Mazandaran, Babolsar, Iran) and Prof. Dr. Olena Melnykova-Kurhanova (National Aviation University, Kyiv, Ukraine). The attendees actively used the opportunity to ask questions and participate in the interdisciplinary dialog.
The broad participation in this networking meeting once again underlines the importance of collaboration and interdisciplinary exchange. We would like to thank our fellows for their inspiring contributions, as well as all participants who made this event so enriching!
On July 24, 2023, the second PICAIS Coffee Talk took place.
Our PICAIS Fellows, Prof. Dr. Alina Kasinska, Prof. Dr. Claudia Sadowski-Smith, and Prof. Dr. Daniel J. Henderson, presented their ongoing research projects to researchers of the University of Passau. These exciting insights opened the door to an interdisciplinary dialogue among representatives from various fields. These connections showcase the breadth of research at the University of Passau and demonstrate how we benefit from collaborative thinking and interdisciplinary cooperation.
We are delighted by the enthusiastic participation in this networking event and thank our PICAIS Fellows for their stimulating presentations.
On May 16, 2023, the first PICAIS Coffee Talk took place.
