Hybrid winter semester 2020/21

Since March 2020 one topic has been determining our everyday life: the corona pandemic. In the summer semester, (almost) all teaching and learning was done digitally. And the winter semester 2020/21, as a hybrid semester, will not be a normal semester either. Nevertheless - or perhaps precisely because of this - the HWR Berlin is sticking to the tradition of opening the semester: as a digital format.

How does Corona affect studies and society?

We would like to look ahead: How do you study alternating between presence and online? And what does the pandemic do to society? How can students get involved? What role does the digitalization of administration play? And what is the future of business and society? Or in short: What is this "new normal" that people keep talking about?

Digital workshops and discussion panels

Participants can choose between exciting digital workshops, where they can discuss and exchange ideas after short impulses. We invite all university members, especially students and teachers, to start this special winter semester 2020/21 together with this event.
