The retreat took place on 23-25 August 2023 at Burg Bilstein near Lennestadt.

The Social and Scientific Events Team had prepared a great workshop on "Scientific Collaborations".
The participants were divided into several groups and each group came up with a collaborative project, presented on a poster. That went extremely well and we had a lot of fun with it. Our excursion led us to the Atta Cave in Attendorn cooling us all down a little.
A big "Thank you" to the Social and Scientific Events Team that prepared everything so well!
