On 23rd October 2018, project area C is organizing a workshop on Biofilms. This
workshop is important to get an overview about the current research and about
already existing results in the field of biofilms and related calcite precipitation. This topic is one of the research subjects that connects the research projects of project area C. During the workshop, it will be clarified which SFB goals are to be achieved, how to achieve them and which expectations exist for the research projects C01–C05.
In addition to presentations, discussions and exchanging ideas, there will be a
Laboratory Tour. Holger Steeb shows the Porous Media Lab, which will soon be fully equipped.
Al Cunningham, external partner of SFB 1313, will be our guest and present the
research on biofilms and induced calcite precipitation of the last decade of the Center for Biofilm Engineering/Montana State University, and discuss future research
approaches together with the SFB 1313 researchers.
Date: Tuesday, 23rd October 2018
Time: 1:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Location: U1.003 (MML), Pfaffenwaldring 61, Campus Vaihingen
Any interested SFB-member is very welcome to join the workshop.
