Researchers Beer – Casual conversations about research for all

September 5, 2023
Location: Kulturplatz Davos, Promenade 58c, Davos Platz
Start: 8:00 PM

Graubünden has a diverse and an internationally well-connected scientific landscape. The Davos research institutes, which employ more than 300 researchers, are part of this. In addition, there is a large number of research-interested locals and guests who populate the “Science City”.

At the “Researchers Beer” in the foyer of the Kulturplatz Davos, scientists and citizens with a thirst for knowledge meet at on the first Tuesday of the month to exchange ideas and get to know each other. To each “Researchers Beer” the Academia Raetica invites a person from its scientific network, who talks about their research in Graubünden shares their knowledge with the audience.

On September 5, the Academia Raetica welcomes Claudia Loebel as our special guest. Claudia completed her PhD in Health Sciences and Technology at ETH Zurich and the AO Research Institute Davos in 2016. Since 2021, she has been leading her own research group at the University of Michigan, the Loebel Lab. Together with her team, she develops biomaterials and engineering technologies to better understand how cells interact with their extracellular microenvironment. On the occasion of the ESB conference, we welcome her back to Davos.

The event will be held in English. Participants of the ESB conference are cordially invited to attend the Researchers Beer. No registration necessary.
