The second year in a row, the GAMM student Chapter Science Slam took place on July 12th 2024. A total of 42 young researchers from the GAMM student chapter groups of Bochum, Braunschweig, Hamburg and Hannover participated in this single day event which took place at Leibniz University Hannover. These young researchers got the opportunity to present their work in a casual setting, preparing them for more formal events.
After a year had passed since the initial idea of founding a junior group, we were finally able to celebrate the official completion of our founding process. Over the past year, a lot had happened, and this day was the perfect opportunity to reflect on our journey during a relaxed barbecue gathering.
After the founding members of the junior research group had completed all the formalities for its establishment, it was time to wait for the official confirmation from the GAMM board. However, the future board members did not remain idle during this period. Katja Tüting and Jannis Marquardt accepted an invitation from the MUSEN Center at TU Braunschweig (Center for Mechanics, Uncertainty, and Simulation in Engineering) and presented the future plans for the newly founded junior research group to the MUSEN Center's board.
As the idea of founding a GAMM Junior Research Group in Braunschweig gradually took shape over the past weeks and months, the time had finally come in September 2023 to bring it to life. Many other German cities already had GAMM youth groups successfully fostering connections among young researchers in mathematics and engineering sciences.
