Student Life throughout Time - Gewina student lecture

17 November 20:00
Claire Morrison and Tim Debroyer, student board members at Gewina: the Belgian-Dutch Society for Science and University History, would like to unite students from Belgium and the Netherlands who are writing their master's thesis on science and university history during the current academic year. In this group we can assist each other in writing a master thesis, we can hold online writing sessions and after the academic year we can help each other with publishing our research results in the form of a blog post, conference paper, or article to share our hard-earned work with a wider audience.

As a first acquaintance, we would like to invite you to an online lecture. During this free lecture, two PhD students will present their research on the theme of Student Life throughout Time to give you an insight into the diversity of the history of science. Register for the lecture.
