Contributing To The World’s To Do List – Heidelberger Doktorandinnen und Doktoranden stellen sich vor
Twice a year, doctoral researchers at Heidelberg University are invited to present their research as it relates to one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Each event is dedicated to one specific SDG and doctoral candidates are given the opportunity to present their own scientific projects in relation to this SDG and thus contribute to the transfer of academic research into society.
