The seminar took place at the Gernsbach Paper Centre. In the quiet surroundings on the outskirts of the town, the basics of important methods and theories for the entire working group were discussed, with one aspect also focussing on science in philosophy and epistemology. In the evening, some alumni and industry representatives reported on their experiences after completing their doctorates. To loosen up, there was also a hike in the immediate vicinity ("Gernsbacher Sagenweg") with beautiful views and cosy breaks, the evenings were also a rather extensive programme item in the in-house bowling alley, table tennis and of course in the cellar.
