Core members of the Kolleg (director, co-director, coordinator, postdocs, PhD students, and principal investigators) gathered in a retrospective mode at the annual General Assembly to review and evaluate the Kolleg’s progress so far. Given that this special meeting was set on May 4th and acknowledging the obvious connection between the organizational structure of a Graduiertenkolleg and that of the Jedi Council, Olga Galicka, the PhD representative, delighted the attending members with a Star Wars-themed recap presentation which resulted in brief yet heated discussions about who of the attending members would be able to fill Yoda’s shoes. After that, all work-related talk was forbidden for the rest of the evening, giving everyone the opportunity to continue the conversations that had begun at the opening workshop.
