From March 31 to April 2, 2025, we had the pleasure of welcoming around 50 researchers from the SFB 1372 network to our Biopsychology Group at Ruhr University Bochum. Colleagues from Oldenburg, Wilhelmshaven, and Berlin joined us for three days of lively scientific exchange, new ideas, and collaborative planning.

The program included a range of presentations, poster sessions, and informal discussions in smaller groups. In addition, we invited our guests on a guided tour through our labs and shared some spring sunshine during walks through the university’s botanical garden. We would like to thank all participants for their visit and the inspiring conversations – it was a great pleasure to host you in Bochum!
