The annual conference in Freiburg was a great success, and we would like to thank all participants for their exciting contributions and lively discussions.
Nearly 100 participants attended the main conference, with 14 young scientists also attending the “Doc.Workshop” in advance. Two keynotes, 17 talks, and 52 posters were presented, and the young scientist award for the best poster went to Robin Hake. Congratulations!
At the general meeting, the Good Scientific Practice Committee and the Ethics Commission were confirmed in their new composition by vote and will take up their duties with immediate effect. The DGM Executive Board was also newly elected and will take up its duties in its new composition at the beginning of 2026.
A detailed report on the annual conference will follow shortly!
