Jour Fixe
The STRUCTURES Jour Fixe is the central meeting point of STRUCTURES. Its talks cover the entire scientific breadth of STRUCTURES and aim at all members. The Jour Fixe takes place as a hybrid event (Venue: Philosophenweg 12, GHs and online). You are interested in receiving announcements for the Jour Fixe or have questions? Feel free to write us at office@structures.uni-heidelberg.de. The STRUCTURES Project Management Office is happy to answer questions.
