Scientific Work Day
On Wednesday, February 23, the „Scientific Work Day“ at RWTH will take place again, starting at 11 am. Given the current situation, the event will be held online via Zoom. Students of all disciplines are invited.
The professionals of the Writing Center and the University Library will offer numerous impulse lectures about scientific writing until 1:30 pm and will be available for all questions.
