The HIRe Hour

"The HIRe Hour" is a new format based on your input to the HGS-HIRe program.

Once a month, every first Thursday at 16:00 the HIRe Hour offers insight into technical tools, procedures or techniques to make the scientific life easier.

In a 30 minute pitch presentation, invited experts or experienced doctoral students from HGS-HIRe share their individual experience, advice or recommendation on the topic of the month.

The introductory presentation is followed by a 30-60 minute question and discussion session as needed.

Previous presentations can be found in the "The HIRe Hour" archive. "The HIRe Hour" is online only, no registration needed, just zoom in.
