From March 12th to 13th, 2026, SmallData will draw together all members of our CRC to share insights, collaborate, and delve into addressing the challenges of small data for meaningful discoveries!
The Tandem Lecture Series, hosted by SMART, highlights collaborative research performed by the Prinicpal Investigators across different disciplines. In each session, PIs will present their joint project, discuss developments since the project began, and share their disciplinary approaches. They will also reflect on their experience of working together, including what has helped and what challenges they faced in building a shared understanding. The sessions will conclude with a Q&A, giving researchers, both early career and beyond, the chance to ask questions and join the conversation.
In this collaborative lecture, Elisabeth Schramm and Adriani Nikolakopoulou of Project C02 will be presenting.
In this seminar, our SmallData Associated Researchers will give a 30 minute presentation of their work on small data and explore how it connects with other projects across the Collaborative Research Center. Each seminar will feature an open Q&A session. A talk title and short description will be available closer to the time.

The Science Days take place every autumn – they are Germany’s largest science and STEM festival.
Together with institutions from the fields of science, education and business, a fascinating and very diverse programme is put together. STEM topics are presented from different directions and perspectives, and visitors get insights into highly topical issues and their research. Hands-on activities play a very important role here. Visitors are encouraged to try things out, experiment and tinker! In exchange with the actors and under their expert guidance, visitors can gain new insights and expand their knowledge. Another highlight of the programme are our spectacular science shows, which guarantee aha and wow experiences.
SmallData will be participating this year! Please come and visit our stand!
SMART Doctoral Researchers, Early Career Researchers (ECRs), and Associated ECRs have the opportunity to participate in a 2-day workshop which aims to introduce the path of manuscript submission, starting from manuscript optimisation, interaction with the editor and efficient response to reviewers’ requests.
