The Organic Food system as a model for sustainable food systems The workshop intends to present and discuss the Organic Food System as a model and living laboratory for sustainable food systems. We are looking systemically at organic food and farming in order to work on questions related to different food system aspects. Those aspects are the structure of food systems under different cultural and geographical conditions, factors and drivers moving food systems towards enhanced sustainability as well as the relations between food system elements. A special focus will be given to tools for higher education and methodological approaches working with a food system view.

Brown Bag Lecture - Mobility of the Future: What role does car-sharing play? Networked or driverless cars, alternative motors - or no private car anymore? Mobility is changing rapidly.

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Marion Büttgen

Science Speed Matching for doctoral candidates: In Hohenheim there are currently almost 1,200 doctoral candidates. Often the candidates only know colleagues from their own department and possibly the departments with rooms close to theirs.  Colleagues from other institutes are only known by sight - even though the research areas might be similar. This means there is a great deal of untapped potential for joint research and publications. To find potential co-authors, make contacts for various research questions, and find partners for project submissions and grant proposals as well as to get to know better the research done at the University, this scientific speed matching will take part during the anniversary Festive Week.  Based on the principle of business speed dating, the participants can exchange information on their research in just a few minutes before moving on to the next person in the rotation.

Open choir rehearsal for the University choir on the Open Day Rehearsing the anniversary song with the premiere on the Open Day (7 July). All students, employees, and friends of the University are welcome to sing along.
