Lively discussions at Meet the Shortcuts 2016 Photo by Thomas Abel

On Wednesday, 30 November 2016, this year’s Shortcuts-Scholars displayed their projects. The nine participants of the Shortcuts-Programme presented posters of their research projects from the disciplines of history, political science and sociology.
Between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. the posters were exhibited at the BGHS seminar room (X-B2-103). Professors, doctoral researchers and others took the opportunity to enter into a dialogue with the Shortcuts-Scholars about their future dissertation projects. The event offered a platform for the exchange of ideas in diverse topics of history, political science and sociology.

The Shortcuts-Programme qualifies young women researchers to prepare for their doctoral studies in a four-month programme.
