In the summer semester 2024 (from May 2024 to July 2024), we are happy to once again host a digital journal club to read and discuss a selection of methods-focused scientific articles.

We will meet on a Wednesday toward the end of each month, at 4:00 PM in Berlin, Germany, on Zoom. JClub meetings are typically 90 minutes long. Since the meeting format is online, participants from any location and time zone are welcome to join!

The official registration form for the summer semester is now closed. However, we still have a few spots open. If you are interested in joining the JClub or have any other questions, please contact us at bemcolloquium@charite.de.
