In a long tradition of seminars, the 17th Haindorf seminar hosted by the IRTG 1792 took place from January 23 until January 27, 2018. In the former Franciscan Monastery in the village of Hejnice (Haindorf) our researchers and guests convened to share and discuss their ongoing research and present their research findings. 

Besides the insightful sessions there was enough time for social activity. Participants used the offers of the region such as skiing, hiking and joyful gatherings in the evenings to get to know each other and create a very collegial and friendly atmosphere. The former monastery provided not only adequate rooms for the sessions, the guests and evening activ-ities but also Czech food and a guided tour to the associated church and its crypts.

We want to express our sincere thanks to the CEO of CiS systems s.r.o., Mr. Peter M. Wöllner, for taking his time and showing us one of his production locations under his supervision in the Czech Republic.

We look back at a successful Haindorf seminar and look forward to come back to this beautiful place next year again.

There is more information about the participants as well as the talks on the seminar’s website.

We now look forward to seeing their article appear in a future issue of JE.

The article will be based on the SFB 649 Discussion Paper 2015-52.

Our most recent discussion papers are available in our research results section.
