Coffee Lectures are short impulse talks (15 to 30 minutes) on topics related to academic work. In the “Rotunde” (Room Z2.2.05) of the library on the campus at the Tiefenbronner Straße, you can learn over a cup of coffee (or tea) how to search literature efficiently, cite sources correctly, use AI tools, and much more!.
The Coffee Lectures are free of charge for anyone interested. No registration is required – however, for safety reasons, no more than 20 people are allowed in the Rotunde at the same time.
