On 30.09.2024, the ceremonial farewell of this year's FWJ students took place in the Ufo with the awarding of certificates. Afterwards, a poster exhibition with snacks provided information about the respective activities of the FWJ students at the various chairs. We are delighted that our FWJ students, Sophia Swirgun and Robert Bonkowski, have decided to study mechanical engineering and will remain associated with the LWT as student assistants.
This year, the LWT once again took part in the annual Materials Science and Engineering Conference (MSE) with a presentation. One of the most important conferences in the field of materials science took place in Darmstadt from September 24 to 26, 2024. With over 1,500 international participants, the MSE offered an ideal platform for exchange between researchers, engineers, scientists and industry representatives.
With two presentations, LWT participated in the 15th International Symposium on Superalloys (Superalloys 2024), which was held with great success from September 8-15, 2024 at Seven Springs Mountain Resort, Champion, Pennsylvania. A highly interactive conference with attendees from academia, supply chain, and product-user members of the superalloy community highlighting technologies that contribute to improved manufacturability, affordability, life prediction, and performance of superalloys.
The annual two-day doctoral seminar took place in Soest in August 2024. After the presentations by the LWT doctoral students, they were given a guided tour of the old town of the Hanseatic city of Soest. In the evening, they enjoyed a barbecue and rounded off the day in the conference venue's garden.
A LOOK BEHIND THE SCENES
