On 5 November 2024, the fifth Coffee Talk took place at the University of Passau, where our current four fellows (Dr. Jamie Fairbrother, Dr. Oleksandr Fylypchuk, Prof. Dr. Sandra Leaton Gray and Prof. Dr. José Vicente Vezossi) presented their current research projects. The event not only provided a deep insight into the current scientific work, but also promoted the exchange between the researchers and the professors of the University of Passau. The event provided an excellent opportunity for networking and the exchange of interdisciplinary topics, from medieval missionary work to current challenges in school pedagogy, and stimulated numerous questions and conversations. The afternoon ended with many inspiring conversations that will surely continue in the coming months.

Das Event bot eine ausgezeichnete Gelegenheit zum Networking und Austausch interdisziplinärer Themen, von mittelalterlicher Missionararbeit bis zu aktuellen Herausforderungen in der Schulpädagogik, und regte zahlreiche Fragen und Gespräche an. Der Nachmittag endete mit vielen inspirierenden Gesprächen, die sicherlich in den nächsten Monaten weitergeführt werden.

The attendees actively used the opportunity to ask questions and participate in the interdisciplinary dialog.
