TRR 274 Young Invistigator Retreat 2026 in Lohr am Main

From 22–24 July 2026, the TRR 274 Young Investigators gathered for their annual retreat in the beautiful surroundings of Lohr am Main. Over two days, early-career researchers presented their latest work and reflected on the progress achieved over the past year through a series of engaging scientific presentations and discussions.

The retreat was honoured to welcome two distinguished scientific guests, Dr. Marianna Cortese and Prof. Ari Waisman, whose contributions provided valuable perspectives and enriched the scientific exchange within the YI community.

The programme was complemented by the workshop “From Academia to Industry,” offering insights into career pathways beyond academia, the translation of scientific research into practical applications, and the opportunities and challenges of moving from academic research to industry.

Beyond the scientific programme, the retreat provided an important opportunity to reflect on achievements, exchange ideas across research areas, deepen professional networks, and foster new collaborations among the Young Investigators.

A special thank you goes to the YI representatives for organising a successful and inspiring retreat.
