General Information
The BMS Days will be held via zoom this year. The links will be sent to all participants in the week before the BMS Days.
We will ask to take a screenshot once per group and all participants are free to keep their camera on or turn it off for this purpose.
The Group Meetings will take place in zoom break out sessions and will be attended by one BMS student, one BMS postdoc, one BMS professor, one BMS office staff member and 5-8 applicants. This meeting should give applicants the opportunity to ask any questions they might have about the BMS and living and studying in Berlin.
The applicants will NOT be evaluated during the BMS Days. The purpose of these BMS Days is only for the applicants to get to know the BMS.
