Visiting the new TK labs

As Prof. Max Mühlhäuser turned 60 this year, there was a festive colloqium in honor of his birthday on June 30th which was seen as outstanding success by his more over 150 guests.

At 13:00 pm, the first attendants of the workshop gathered together at the “Altes Hauptgebäude” to visit the new TK lab followed by several demonstrations in which researchers presented their current projects at TK. Then, a multi-group brainstorming workshop was conducted on a scenario coined as Telecooperation 6.0, following the so-called 'World Cafe' technique. Afterwards, the attendants than had to switch the location to the “Maschinenhaus” to join the festive colloqium.
