BECC guest researchers
BECC welcomes guest researchers to work in areas within BECCs scientific framework, with the aim to further strengthen the research and research groups.
To become a guest researcher, you need to be invited by one of our researchers. Any member of BECC can apply for funds to invite a guest researcher. On the link below you will find all necessary information on how to apply for a guest researcher:

Interview with previous Prof. Dr. Alexandra Klein
"I would say that the greatest scientific benefit of being a visiting researcher within BECC is the high interdisciplinarity of BECC and CEC, the collaborative and inspiring atmosphere and the stakeholder perspective have all been of great value.
There are always researchers of different disciplines available to discuss research ideas and findings. Especially comfortable is that many of the researchers are working close to each other or meet in the kitchen area, creating opportunities for discussions. What is also exciting with BECC and CEC is that researchers of other research Institutions from across the globe are frequently visiting seminars or give talks, which inspired me to think outside the box and leave the comfort zone of my main research subject."
