Gastvorträge
Im Rahmen von Gastvorträgen berichten WissenschaftlerInnen, die bereits gut in der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaft etabliert sind, von aktuellen Forschungsergebnissen oder politischen Strategien. Diese mehrmals pro Jahr stattfindenden Vorträge sind speziell auf das disziplinär vielfältige Auditorium des DKs ausgerichtet. Die meisten ReferentInnen stehen im Anschluss an den Vortrag für ein informelles Treffen mit den DK Studiereden bereit, wo diese sich mit den eingeladenen WissenschaftlerInnen über ihre eigenen Forschungsvorhaben austauschen bzw. persönliche Anliegen, wie zum Beispiel Karriereoptionen, besprechen können.
