Successful resumption of the IWW Colloquium
The fourth IWW Colloquium took place on 10 November 2022. Originating from the colloquium on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the WOT professorship in 2018, which was praised by guests and participants, the IWW Colloquium took place for the first time in November 2019. The colloquium combines the annual report of the IWW professorships with interesting presentations by partners and alumni as well as a networking evening with guests and colleagues. Due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, the IWW Colloquium was moved to virtual space in 2020 and 2021. This year, everyone involved was looking forward to the resumption of direct contact and personal dialogue.
Almost 100 guests accepted the invitation, including many of the professorship's research and development partners, current and former employees of the Institute of Materials Science and Engineering, alumni and student assistants. The colloquium was thus a successful continuation of the intended format, which aims to encourage low-threshold dialogue between the various groups associated with the IWW. Through their participation, the guests impressively demonstrated that research, teaching and transfer are not just buzzwords, but an integral part of the IWW professorship. This opinion was shared not only by the professors of the IWW, but also by the invited speakers Prof. emer. Michael Gehde (Chair of Plastics Technology, Chemnitz University of Technology), Dr Benjamin Zillmann (Robert Bosch GmbH) and Dr Marcel Graf (CMMC GmbH), whose exciting presentations on current research and development trends in materials issues and the associated challenges in relation to material requirements, resource conservation and recycling laid the foundations for the subsequent discussions during the evening event.
