The Research Day is intended as an intermediate stage towards a joint collaborative project between different Faculties of TH Köln: the Cologne Institute of Conservation Sciences (CICS), the Köln International School of Design (KISD), and of course the Cologne Game Lab. The Research Day will be an opportunity to discuss different research perspectives on the topic of “Memory Artefacts” and identify possible overlaps between the projects.
The event is not only aimed at scientific staff and researchers of the institutes, but also at interested students. Lectures will be held in German. The venue is TH Köln (KISD/ CICS), Ubierring 40, 50678 Köln | Room 11!
