Extended Business Meetings

DANDRITE's Steering Committee, all Group leaders, all Team leaders, and spokespersons on behalf of Affiliated researchers, postdocs, PhD students, and technicians, meet monthly to discuss relevant matters at the Extended Business Meeting. Suggestions for potential speakers for a DANDRITE Lecture have to be presented in person at an Extended Business Meeting by those making the suggestion (or by a representative who knows the work of the potential speaker).

The Extended Business Meeting takes place the second Monday each month from 10:30-11:30.
