The ban on all forms of barbequeing in the entire Theoretikum has been in place now for more than 5 years. Also, there is no site in Theoretikum for outdoor social gatherings such as a PhD celebration or departmental Summer party. Meanwhile containers, temporary fences and outdoor storage for construction work in Theoretikum occupy considerable space and often appear to be disused. We demand a small patch of grass within Theoretikum where outdoor social gatherings including barbeques are permitted.

There is no nearby alternative site for outdoor gatherings where a barbeque is permitted. The official "Grillplatz" next to INF292 with its fireplace, seating and grassy surrounds would seem perfect, but cannot be used due to the nearby URZ containers which appear to have become a permanent fixture.

Some institutions, such as EMBL, encourage their staff to gather for social events to ensure a positive working environment by providing a BBQ space.

Being together with other scientists and discussing about science is a great idea while grilling!
