Kloster Banz 2008

From DFG-SPP 1253

Annual meeting of SPP1253 2008

The main purpose of the annual meeting was to present the achievements and the current state-of-the-art within the projects. Additionally, there was time to discuss the future of the SPP1253 with Dr. Frank Kiefer from the DFG, who thankfully participated in the meeting.

Each of the 25 projects in the priority program had a 20 minute time slot. Please refer to the schedule which you can find on the bottom of the page for more detailed information.

The meeting took place at Kloster Banz, which is located near Lichtenfels in Bavaria.
