 First RTG retreat of the ECOSENSE PhDs

In December 2022, the first annual ECOSENSE retreat with 20 members has taken place in the Black Forest. The motto of the retreat was scientific communication to develop a common vocabulary of environmental scientists, engineers and computer scientists. In this context, the RTG (Research Training Group) was introduced to the Ph. D. candidates as a perfect environment to foster interdisciplinary training of doctoral research.

Another item on the agenda was a guided tour through the nature reserve on Feldberg from HAUS DER NATUR. Further, the members of the project visited the University forest and had a deeper insight into the different tree species, their necessities and their functions.
