BI.research Conference 2025 - shaping the profile together


 

The BI.research Conference is a new, annual conference for dialogue within our university. It is fundamental to Bielefeld University's participatory profile-building process.

The BI.research Conference is a forum for providing new impetus for the further development of Bielefeld University's research profile. The networking conference enables researchers at our university to present concepts for promising research initiatives and to gather input from colleagues.
