UrbNet Open Audition 2015

Info about event
Time
Location
Aarhus University, Campus Moesgaard
The “Open Audition” is a two-day event with short papers, discussion of research ideas and introduction to the centre’s work and team. The seminar will serve as a platform to develop international networks between junior and senior scholars working in the fields connected with the centre’s areas of expertise. Furthermore, it is an opportunity for researchers with an interest in the work of the centre – and potentially in becoming part of the centre –to meet current and future centre staff and discuss research ideas.
