Publications & Presentations

Within the framework of our scientific and technical work, we are always striving to provide impulses on a German-wide and international level and to contribute actively to the exchange of knowledge with our articles, posters and lectures. We therefore regularly present our results and our current portfolio - among others - at the following trade fairs and conferences:

Below you will find a selection of our activities in this belong.
