The direct exchange with national and international fellows is a scientific, cultural and social enrichment for both sides. Even after the fellow's departure, each visit leaves lasting impressions, experiences and memories for all involved.
In the following you will find an overview of all fellows known to us who have visited the University of Rostock since 01.01.2019.
On behalf of the University, we would like to thank all fellows, as well as all host researchers, for their motivation and commitment to science, but also for their appreciative approach to each other.
