Description

Welcome to the official HAPN Kick-off event page!

We are glad that you are interested in this event and being part of the HAPN Steering Committee 2025. The main goals of the Kick-off are to formally launch HAPN, develop statutes (by-laws) for the network, organise working groups, and provide a platform for HAPN's steering committee (2 reps from each Helmholtz Center) to get to know each other.

Feel free to browse the page to already familiarise yourself with the HAPN proposal (File: HAPHN_Proposal), event schedule (Tab: Timetable), location, accommodation (File: General_Info), and dinner spots (File: General_Info). Please also read the session brief for the workshop "Working Groups" (File: Working_Group_Brief) to know what'll happen. You can check your working group assignment in the file "Working_Group_Assignment". 

We are looking forward to meeting you in person and working with you to fill HAPN with life and ideas.

If you have any questions, please contact us at hapn-steering@groups.helmholtz-munich.de

Emergency phone numbers for during the event can be found in the file "General_Info".

See you in Berlin,

HAPN Launch Committee - We'll make it HAPN!
