What events take place at the RCC?

The Lunchtime Colloquium is the most regular and perhaps most central event in the RCC calendar. During the university semester (October–February and April–July), this event is scheduled weekly on Thursdays from noon until 14:00. Visitors can bring lunch to eat together before the lecture, giving fellows time to socialize with an interested public. Speakers include Landhaus fellows as well as academics invited by the students of the doctoral program. 

Furthermore, the RCC also hosts two weekly inhouse events: the Tuesday Discussions from 16:30–17:45 each week during the semester and the Works-in-Progress sessions (WiP), held on Tuesdays, beginning at 12:00. The Tuesday Discussions bring local environmental practitioners such as politicians, leaders in NGOs, and activists to the RCC to discuss topical environmental issues. Works-in-Progress features more in-depth discussions of fellows' work with pre-circulated texts. Fellows are required to attend both events.

In addition to these regular events, the RCC calendar has a huge variety of workshops, conferences, lectures, and film screenings that address all kinds of topics and audiences—not only in Munich but also abroad.
