Autumn Symposium 2023

With great pleasure, we hosted our second Autumn Symposium on Sept. 16, 2023. Exciting presentations by Katharina, Till, Michael, Mara, Johannes, Rahul and Michael provided a wonderful frame for this event and brought together the valuable experiences of our alumni from industry and research with the recent findings from our research areas. How the research areas and interests of our working group have developed over the last 20 years, which alumnus worked when and where, and who from our current team is currently doing research on which interesting topic, was finally presented by Marcel to the audience and formed a wonderful transition to our barbecue, where many nice anecdotes from our time together here in Leipzig rounded off the wonderful evening. It was again a great pleasure for us, and so we are already looking forward to our next reunion - even if it is just spontaneously with a nice cup of coffee.
