Our colleague Markus Wolfahrt has joined the management team as the new division manager of "Polymers and Composites for Structural Applications".
We would like to congratulate him and wish him all the best for the future!
Dr. mont. Anja Gosch, a graduate of our scientific partner, the Chair of Materials Science and Testing of Polymers (WPK) at the Montanuniversitaet Leoben, received the Wilfried-Ensinger-Award for her excellent PhD thesis, which was developed within the framework of joint COMET-K1 cooperation projects under the supervision of Univ.-Prof. Dr. mont. Gerald Pinter.
For the project management of these projects the colleagues Dr. mont. Florian Arbeiter (WPK) and Dr. mont. Michael Berer (PCCL) were in charge.

The Department of Polymer Engineering and Science will celebrate its 50th birthday!
This golden anniversary should also be celebrated properly, and the stage for this will be the 29th Leoben Conference on Polymer Engineering and Science.
We are looking forward to a brilliant event, with a look back at 50 years of history as well as a look forward to a challenging but also promising future.
Since its beginnings, the Department of Polymer Engineering has always followed the trends in science and research. It has grown from two institutes to a strong network of six chairs and has a strong partner in Polymer Competence Center Leoben for more than 15 years.
This field of opportunities and challenges will be discussed at the anniversary colloquium based on three guiding topics.
Smart Production - Sustainability and Polymers - Additive Manufacturing.
