Progress Meeting at MPI Magdeburg
About
On February 24 th -26 th , 2025 , the third meeting of our DFG-funded research unit IMPD4Cat was hosted by Kai Sundmacher and colleagues at Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems . The program started with short presentations of the single subunits and continued with lectures from our invited speakers Felix Strieth-Kalthoff ( Bergische Universität Wuppertal ), Ehecatl Antonio del Rio Chanona ( Imperial College London ), Mathias Ulbricht ( University of Duisburg-Essen ) and John Woodley ( DTU - Technical University of Denmark ). The meeting was full of lively discussions and knowledge exchange. After Wolf Zinke ( Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg ) gave us an overview on research data management in the beginning of the meeting the last day was dedicated to issues and possible solutions in RDM with Michael Liebau ( Leipzig University ). Additionally, a Magdeburg city bus tour with a subsequent dinner at Magado topped the meeting off. All FOR members thank Kai Sundmacher , Christoph Griehl , Louise Witzlack as well as Martin Uxa for a marvelous organization of the event.
