It was a positive side-effect of the participation in the WBZ conference in Wrocław/Breslau in June 2018: A group of ZDS PhD students from Berlin visited the Ministry of Justice, for Europe and Consumer Protection of the federal state of Brandenburg in Potsdam. Having made the acquaintance of some PhD students in Wrocław, Ms. Ellen Kray invited them to the ministry on August 7 in order to inform them about the federal structure of Germany, the organization of a federal state and especially the work of her ministry. Her vivid and very informative talk was of great benefit for all participants.
