After 20 months of intense work, the scholarship holders of #class24 presented their projects and findings at an inspiring and entertaining evening. 

The Taskforce Symposium had put together a varied program. After a welcome address by TUMJA’s Director, TUM Senior Vice President Professor Gerhard Müller, the five teams of #class24 outlined their projects in short presentations. Bushra Demyati and Omar Rashed, members of #class24, led the program as moderators.

The evening continued in the Theresianum with a conference. The guests could listen to and discuss diverse scientific topics in three lecture halls under the joint motto “What makes us human?” The twelve talks ranged from technical themes like autonomous vehicle systems to biological issues, such as “synthetic biology,” and touched on philosophical and psychological aspects. Lively discussions with the audience followed the short talks.

After this insightful part of the evening, everybody was invited to enjoy some refreshing food and drinks for a “walking dinner.” The projects of #class24 and #class25, as well as TUMJA partners and different student initiatives, invited the guests to explore their interactive booths. This engaging session could have lasted even longer, but the final event of the evening was calling: A science comedy show with “Magic Andy.”

Our heartfelt thank you goes to the organizing team under the lead of Taskforce Symposium, whose outstanding commitment made this inspiring, cheerful evening possible.
