The Boysen-TUD Research Training Group enjoyed two extraordinary, informative, and exciting days, together with colleagues from around the world! The Summer School "Mobility in Transition" finally took place on July 20 and 21, 2021. The hybrid event combined face-to-face presentations with hybrid and panel discussions in face-to-face and virtual presentations. Discussions with participants, who, like the speakers, come from a wide variety of disciplines, once again highlighted the transdisciplinary and international focus of the Research Training Group. A total of 334 participants from 69 nations followed the multi-layered presentations online. They actively participated in the discussion rounds and were able to use this unique opportunity to expand their international network.

The summer school in numbers:
-
A total of 334 people from 69 nations took part (online). Between 70 and 90 participants were present online per session.

Around a third of all registered participants were graduate students, with another third being young professionals. The last third was divided almost equally by undergraduate and doctoral students.
-
With 15% of all registrations each, India and Germany topped our participants list, closely followed by Brazil with just under 10%. Approximately 5% of the registrations came from the United States, Egypt, and Indonesia each. Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Italy, and Japan, ... just to name a few, also joined the hybrid event.
