From October 8th to 10th, the Professorship of Bioprocess Engineering held its annual scientific retreat at the beautiful monastery grounds of Raitenhaslach. Three days filled with inspiring scientific discussions, continuous improvement ideas, and presentation skill development — all in a setting that fosters creativity and collaboration. A spooky city tour along the world’s longest castle in Burghausen added a touch of adventure to the program.
The highlight of the retreat, however, was the meeting between our doctoral students and their mentors from industry. We are deeply grateful for the engaging discussions, valuable feedback, and fresh perspectives our mentors brought to the table. A big thank-you to Olaf Wachsen, Jörg Claren, Marcus Verhülsdonk, Katharina Prühs, Rudolf Schäfer, and Michael Kraus for sharing your time, experience, and insights with our team!
