After our #EpiCrossBorders Symposium ended, our students took the chance to ‘elevate’ their journal club and hiked through Partnach Gorge in the beautiful Garmisch-Partenkirchen finishing at an Alm for scientific discussion.
Nature, fresh air and science - perfect!
EpiCrossBorders Symposium 2025 – That’s a wrap!
