As part of the TUM Global Incentive Fund Initiative and the Aalto Internal Funding Programme, the first joint workshop with colleagues from Aalto University took place at our department and other TUM institutions between 26 September and 28 September 2022. The varied programme included a visit to the FRMII research reactor, several tours of institutes and chairs, discussion rounds on future collaboration and scientific working sessions on selected cross-sectional topics. Especially in the field of characterisation and cross-scale modelling of single and multi-phase steels, such as DP or QP grades, the cooperation is to be established and intensified.
We are looking forward to meeting our guests Rongfei Juan, Prof. Junhe Lian, Prof. Mika Salmi and Prof. Jouni Partanen again in the course of the second workshop this December 2022 at Aalto University in Helsinki and to continue the exciting discussions.
