On the part of the NFF and TU Braunschweig Vice President Prof. Reimers, Professor Vietor, Prof. Schnieder, Prof. Pachl and Prof. Siefer participated at the workshop.
In addition to the plenary discussions about potential areas of innovation and opportunities for cooperation between science, industry and mobility operators, nine prestigious universities had the opportunity to present their activities in the field of mobility and transport at the 'Science Forum'.
On this occasion the NFF and the TU Braunschweig presented the new projects Battery LABfactory Baunschweig and Open Hybrid Lab Factory to the visiting representatives from railway and logistics companies. The displayed Open Lab Hybrid Factory LEGO model was one of the main attractions on the forum and starter for many interesting conversations.
