Activities

Scientific exchange and professional collaboration are central components of scientific research. It is equally important for the members of Trans_Space  to allow a broad section of the public to participate in research processes and results. Therefore, the hosting of conferences and events as well as participation in national and international conferences are important tasks of the research group.
