Inaugural Lectures

Since 2018, the HIW Inaugural Lectures introduce the work of recently appointed ZAP colleagues to their fellow researchers and students at the HIW. New professors are invited to share and discuss their current research hypotheses and insights, thus allowing the entire HIW community to get acquainted with the topics and methods of their research and with their style of thinking.
