Project Slam Collection-PART-have
Once again, students were given the opportunity to present their own object-related research projects at the end of the series of lectures on 4 February 2021. The audience was then able to vote and choose the winners, who received book vouchers worth a total of €100.
Christina Freund, organiser of the series of lectures and lecturer at the Institute of Material Culture, hosted the evening. She was technically supported by student assistant Christoph Wollesen.

Anke Haase began by introducing the certificate programme "Custodial Practice at University Collections" at the University of Oldenburg, which is unique in Germany and includes a visit to the series of lectures. The six speakers then had their say and delivered an interesting and varied exchange.
Just take a look for yourself:
