A monthly colloquium with talks from internationally renowned experts from academia or industry and PIs of 2D-MATURE working on related research topics fosters international excellence and visibility.

The talks are alternating at the University of Duisburg-Essen and at the University of Waterloo and made available to all PhD candidates and PIs by video conferencing, while PhD and MASc students as well as PIs at each location meet in person.
