From January 2012 to December 2014, the Executive Board of AGNES (African German Network of Excellence in Science) met at its headquarters at the DAW Center. Also as part of AGNES activities, two workshops were held at the DAW center in 2013 and 2014, as was already the case in 2012. During these workshops, members of the AGNES committee met for various purposes, including the selection of candidates for the academic awards presented by the network. The DAW Center also coordinated the network's activities and operations between 2012 and 2014.
