The professorship at a university of applied sciences offers a varied activity with high social relevance. The focus is on practical teaching and the enriching exchange with young people. Great freedom of design with regard to research and teaching as well as an excellent work-life balance make a professorship at the THM attractive. But how does one actually become a professor at the THM? What can application-related research and teaching at the THM look like? How can a career as a HAW professor be combined with family planning and a good work-life balance?

We will pursue these and other questions as part of this panel discussion moderated by Emily Härtel. Professors from different Department of the THM provide insights into their very personal career path and everyday work. In addition, you have the option of asking your questions in an open discussion round and then talking to each other with finger food and drinks.
