Johannes Staeves (BMW Group, München) and Prof. Christoph Brabec (Chair of Materials for Electronics and Energy Technology at Univ. of Erlangen-Nuremberg), with a final discussion round table moderated by Prof. Mathias Goeken.
The DGM Regionalforum Erlangen was founded in 2018 as the local chapter of the German Materials Society (DGM) with the goal to offer a communication platform to connect and facilitate the exchange between the different sectors involved in “materials science and engineering” in the Erlangen and Northern Bavaria region, with strong emphasis in developing networks between industry, universities and other research institutions.
