At the start of the 2024 summer semester, ASH Berlin welcomed its two new honorary professors Dr. Sinja Meyer-Rötz and Dr. Hajo Schmidt-Traub, who work in Faculty II. The inaugural lectures took place yesterday in the well-attended Audimax.
ASH Rector Bettina Völter and Uwe Bettig, Dean of Faculty II - Health, Education and Training, welcomed the honorary professors and the guests to the event. After these introductory words, Sinja Meyer-Rötz spoke about her dissertation "Age(ing) as an interdisciplinary subject of research" and Hajo Schmidt-Traub made a direct reference to the university's namesake with his historical overview "Alice Salomon and statutory accident insurance in the service of social responsibility".
The inspiring presentations were followed by a relaxed Q&A session between the interested guests and honorary professors.
