"Psychology on Saturday" event series starts this week

Starting this Saturday, November 8, 2025, the Faculty of Psychology at TU Dresden once again invites you to its public lecture series "Psychology on Saturday".

The lectures always take place on Saturdays at 11:00 a.m. in the Andreas Schubert Building (Zellescher Weg 19, lecture hall 28).
