African Heritage In Europe: Join a special screening of “Dahomey” and “If Objects Could Speak” on 24 July at 19:30, hosted by Kommunales Kino Freiburg (Urachstr. 40, 79102 Freiburg). Both films address the colonial appropriation of African cultural objects and pose vital questions about restitution, identity, and justice.

Afterwards, Dr. Kokou Azamede (Université Lomé, Togo) and filmmaker Elena Bauer will discuss these issues on a panel moderated by Dr. Richard Legay (ABI). This event is organised by our local partners and we highly recommend attending.

🔔 Mark your calendars! Our lecture series “Temporality of Imperial Violence” is scheduled for this Winter Term 2025/26 at the University of Freiburg.

Galaxy’s not just for genomics anymore — it’s making waves in materials science!

A muon spectroscopy study on redox-active metal hydrides used Galaxy to explore hydrogen radical chemistry in {2Fe2S} centers. A strong example of #OpenScience connecting chemistry, computation, and collaboration.
