International exchange in the field of thermal spraying and build-up welding at the ITSHC
On 22/23 September 2022, experts from science and industry presented current developments and research approaches in the field of thermal spraying and cladding at the international ITSHC in Wrocław, Poland. The two plenary lectures at the opening of the conference were given by Prof. Dr Lech Pawłowski and Prof. Dr Shrikant Joshi, who taught and researched at the Chair of Materials and Surface Engineering (WOT) at Chemnitz University of Technology via the Visiting Scholar Programme at the beginning of this year. The WOT team helped to organise the ITSHC with four scientific presentations and contributed intensively to the in-depth discussions. Special thanks go to the organisers for the organisation and execution of the conference, which was very successful in terms of content and organisation.

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.

International doctoral project successfully completed
Dr Mehri Hashemzadeh worked on large parts of her practical results on her doctoral topic at the WOT professorship between April 2021 and October 2022. Her doctorate on the topic of "Ti incorporation in PEO coatings applied on Al7075 and evaluation of its effects on microstructure and properties of the coatings" was recently awarded by the supervising university, Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan/Iran, with an excellent evaluation. Dr Hashemzadeh is now starting his career in Germany.

External doctoral student receives award for his research
Dr Johannes Näther received the Young Talent Award of the German Society for Electroplating and Surface Technology (DGO) 2022 during the ZVO Surface Technology Days 2022, organised by the Zentralverband Oberflächentechnik e.V. Dr Näther completed his doctorate as a doctoral student at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Chemnitz University of Technology as part of a cooperative doctoral procedure while working at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences. This honouring of his achievements is worthy of recognition and underlines the relevance of the doctoral project. Professor Thomas Lampke is currently supervising 26 doctoral students. Ten of these are "externals", who are gaining further qualifications through cooperative doctoral programmes, among other things. These allow academics from a University of Applied Sciences (HAW) to obtain a doctorate under the co-supervision of a university professor at their faculty.

Awards at this year's Surface Days
With 515 participants, almost 90 specialist presentations, stands from 65 exhibitors and overwhelmingly positive feedback, the ZVO annual congress more than fulfilled expectations. As the largest event for electroplating and surface technology in Germany, the congress was once again held at the Congress Centre Leipzig - as usual and with a proven presence.
