Dear AGES Newcomers,
We hope your travel to and settlement in Witzenhausen or Kassel will be smooth – please let us know about any way we may assist during your transition.
You will be the first batch of AGES Master students, setting a path that many others will follow in the coming years. The opportunities to specialize within the program are manifold, so please make sure to get all administrative tasks out of the way before the Welcome Week. We will begin with the program introduction on the 12th of October, and you have time until the 19th to select and enroll in courses for the winter semester.
We look forward to the debates, questions and ideas you will bring!
Enjoy the late summer (it will get cold soon!), get to know the region, and also meet some of your new colleagues.
See you around,
The AGES coordination team and tutors at the Faculty of Organic Agricultural Sciences.
Dr. Louis Thiemann
