Line of Sight 2027

Let's develop goals together

We warmly invite you to our biennial LIN internal event, where we look to the future. This year, we would like to reinterpret the format of our traditional ‘retreat’.

Our aim is to engage in intensive dialogue during the two-day event. During the two days of BlickRichtung ’27 (in English LineOfSight `27), we want to come together with all of you to reflect and make plans for our future. This means that your perspectives are indispensable, because each and every one of you knows so much about the LIN! To underline this, we have drawn up a programme in which there will be room for the special ones in addition to the big topics. You can read more about this below.

The aim of our two-day event is to promote dialogue and exchange - especially with colleagues you encounter less in your everyday work. 

Together, we want to develop visions for the LIN in the evaluation year 2027 and beyond and plan the necessary reforms and measures that will strengthen us and consolidate us as a community.

We want you. We want to consider what we need more of and what we need less of in everyday life. What do we need scientifically, politically, socially and culturally at LIN for a desirable future? What challenges lie ahead and where can we move forward as pioneers of change?

Come and join us! Come with your specific and general concerns, ask questions and share your thoughts. We cordially invite you to think about what is important to you in particular, what is fundamentally important to you. What do you want to know, what questions do you have? Do you have hopes and concerns that you would like to share? Our participatory conference provides the framework to express all of this and actively shape it.

We look forward to seeing you all and to two valuable days for the LIN.

What you can expect: The idea of the participatory conference

Our hands-on conference thrives on your active participation and creativity. Here you can not only network and exchange ideas, but also design the programme yourself! In the end, it is possible for each and every one of you to experience two very individual days - depending on what your needs and topics are.

What we can already tell you

Instead of a rigid schedule, we offer you the freedom to organise these two days yourself. We have created a flexible framework that offers enough space for a variety of topics - from scientific and operational to institutional and global concerns. However, to give us a framework for this wild ride, we have come up with the following.

There will be room for scientific topics. There will be room for operational issues. There will be room for institutional issues that concern us all. There will be space for global, mandatory topics. There will be space for all topics, regardless of whether they are related to research or administration. All suggestions are welcome. So that everyone gets their money's worth, there will be enough space to name, identify and discuss all kinds of topics close to our hearts.

And then we can get straight down to business: >>> Here is the list of topics we can talk about.

Townhall-Meeting

The Townhall Meeting is an open meeting as part of the BlickRichtung ‘27 event to discuss important topics, ask questions to the directors and give feedback. These meetings allow us all to gain insights into company decisions and actively participate in our working environment.

What the format does for you

As a participant, you can express your opinion, exchange ideas with the directors and help shape our future. Your participation strengthens the sense of community and promotes our open, transparent interaction with one another.

What the format does for LIN

Townhall meetings are crucial for open communication and cohesion. They are a platform for learning from different perspectives and developing joint solutions.

Submit questions and topics

Take the opportunity to submit questions in advance: Either via the contact form below or by dropping them in the box in the atrium. You can also ask questions live directly before and during the meeting.

So that we can make the most of these two days together, we would like to give you some simple guidelines that will ensure an inspiring and effective flow. Let's create an atmosphere together in which new ideas can flourish!

Your sessions, our event

We invite you to submit your topics for sessions now or on the first morning of the participatory conference ‚LineOfSight `27'. Anything that interests and concerns you about the 2027 evaluation and beyond can be the subject of a session. Whether questions, methods or discussions - your contributions will shape the programme. Submit your proposals to ensure that we talk about the topics that are important to you.
