Moving minds, moving people – just one week after the signing of the renewed Memorandum of Understanding on 09.11.2022, subject-specific and cross-disciplinary workshops and meetings offered many opportunities for intensive exchange. The participants discussed the core of the partnership, funding formats and next steps. Cigdem Issever, Academic Director of the Oxford Berlin Research Partnership, says: "The workshop was a great success and enormously helpful to set up the partnership for the next five years in such a way that we take into account the needs of the scientists and at the same time can use the great potentials of this special connection between Oxford and Berlin. I look forward to working together to advance those areas, projects, and actions that we have identified."
