Get to know a new tool in our Coffee Lectures that assists you in your academic work or learn important tips and tricks on topics such as persistent identifier, searching and citing images or statistical research.

How the Coffee Lectures work

Each session lasts ten minutes. You will receive concise, condensed information on a particular topic and have time to ask questions at the end. Just the right length of time to enjoy a coffee while you listen.
