IN THE MOVIES - Movie nights for alumni & faculty members

In cooperation with the Studienkreis Film, the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering shows films with a thematic reference to aspects of civil and environmental engineering. The selection of films ranges from classics to blockbusters; it invites reflection, questioning and drawing parallels. It provides food for thought, combines current research with entertainment and realistic forecasts with stylized "what-if" scenarios á la Hollywood.

Before the film, experts from our departments will present their views on the respective topic. Afterwards, there will be the opportunity for exchange and networking over snacks and beer. Alumni and all interested parties are cordially invited!
