Office of Science & Technology - Event Management E

Event management is a central tool of the Office of Science & Technology. We carefully plan and select our events, maintaining our philosophy of goal-oriented planning, efficient implementation, and the achievement of long-term results.

Not only are events useful to initiate or strengthen networking among people in a certain field, they are also effective for openly establishing certain topics as important issues in policies regarding science, research, and technology.

Informal discussions that take place as a result of an event often lead to new cooperation and give potential project partners the opportunity to interact with each other before taking any further steps. Events represent an important element for the OST Visitors Program, the expansion of the OST Scientist Network, and for exploring new collaborations.
