HRA City Walks
Once a month, the HRA provides an opportunity to see Hamburg from a different perspective and to exchange and network with Hamburg researchers. We explore the locations and sights near our member universities with a professional guide. There will be the opportunity to continue chatting and networking with fellow researchers over a drink after the tour. We look forward to meeting you!
