Since 2018, the Faculty of Health has had a network of academic staff (WiMi network), which pursues two goals: Firstly, the informal offer is intended to provide academic staff, doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers at the Faculty of Health with a platform to network with each other on research-relevant topics. On the other hand, the aim is to make it easier for new academic staff, doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers to arrive and find their way around Witten/Herdecke University and the Faculty of Health.
Networking and interdisciplinary exchange are particularly important due to the wide variety of different research topics in the fields of nursing science, psychology/psychotherapy, human medicine and dentistry. We offer events to facilitate exchange between research assistants, doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers in a relaxed atmosphere. Students who are interested in research-related topics are also cordially invited to attend.
