At our ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig location in Leipzig, a regular, internal pizza seminar has been implemented since March 2022 as a platform for all employees to present their current research and work. In addition to inspiring discussions and an exchange of views beyond one’s own work focus, the seminar provides an overview of topics on which ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig is currently working on. We also want to use such activities to bring the team back together after a long home office phase and strengthen the network within our center and our employees.To make it even more appealing – it’s not only about science: the colloquium is combined with pizza for lunch. #PizzaSeminar
