Faculty Lounge

Talking to each other on a regular basis

Since November 2022, the MLU Faculty Lounge has offered professors at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg the opportunity to regularly exchange ideas in a relaxed atmosphere and to build and maintain networks with MLU colleagues across faculties. The idea for the MLU Faculty Lounge came from the Personnel Development Commission, which also sees it as a tool for integrating newly appointed professors. It takes place regularly during the semester.
