Following WIPCAD´s application to the German Research Foundation (DFG) for its second funding period of 4 and a half years starting in April 2017, reviewers and DFG representatives came to the University of Potsdam (Campus Griebnitzsee) to visit the group. The guests were invited to attend presentations, a public poster session and discussions introducing WIPCAD´s research program, the doctoral projects and collaborative links. Around 100 people attended the event, including representatives of the University, of the department and several guests from WIPCAD’s partner institutions all over Europe.
