The S.M.A.R.T. lecture series addresses contemporary challenges of science in an interdisciplinary manner and at the interface of science & society. It aims to encourage out-of-the-box-thinking as well as to establish a dialogue with the broader public. The initiative of our institute is dedicated to themes around Science, Medicine, Art, Research and Technology (S.M.A.R.T.).
