“It was lovely,” say some; “It was a success,” say others; but everyone agrees: “The 2023 Academic Talent Conference at Harz University of Applied Sciences was well worth it!”
The NWK23 proved particularly rewarding for Cindy Moeller. With the poster for her Master’s thesis on the genetics of Varroa-resistant bees, the student from Professor Röbbe Wünschiers’ research group won the prize for the best poster. We offer our warmest congratulations!
The NWK23 was also a success for Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, as Matthias Baumgart, Head of the Research Department, was able to receive the NWK key for the hosts of the next conference from Prof. Frieder Stolzenburg (Vice-Rector for Research and Equal Opportunities) of Harz University of Applied Sciences on the evening of the second day of the conference. “We want to build on the success of this conference, and I would like to take this opportunity to extend a warm invitation to everyone to visit Mittweida in June 2024,” said Matthias Baumgart at the key handover ceremony. This will be the second time that Mittweida University of Applied Sciences has been listed on the key as the host, following 2017. Information about the NWK24 at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences on 13 and 14 June 2024 will be available from autumn onwards at the following link: www.hs.mw/nwk24
But the NWK23 was also well worth it for everyone who attended. “It was a very well-organised conference, with highly motivated speakers and lively discussion,” says Professor Jörg Matthes, Dean of the INW Faculty, who was involved in the conference as the chair of a session. That is precisely what sets the NWK apart: early-career researchers are given the opportunity to learn, under ‘real’ conference conditions, how to prepare, submit and ultimately present academic papers whilst comparing their work with that of other young researchers. There were also plenty of opportunities for networking in the Harz region, and the topics relating to doctoral studies were of general interest.
Many thanks to HS Harz for a successful conference!
Many thanks to everyone at HSMW who supported our team!
Some of the topics covered by our academic talents will be featured here under ‘Research in Focus’ over the next few days.
