DMES RETREAT AT LAKE ATTERSEE

The three divisions CUBE, TER and DOME met for the first retreat of the Department of Microbiology and Ecosystem Science (DMES) from October 5-7 at lake Attersee in Upper Austria. Scientific presentations by master students, PhD students and postdocs gave an overview on ongoing and future research in the department. In a "world cafe" we've discussed six topics that connect the divisions, including research foci, infrastructure and teaching. One of the highlights of the retreat was the hike to the Schoberstein.
