Researching together
Dear Friends, SaxoCell Members, Scientific
Community and further Readers,
Annual reports are a time to reflect on last year’s
achievements. The first year is particularly challenging for
any new venture as it lays the foundation for what is to
come. SaxoCell’s strength lies in its complementary
Welcome Prof. Dr. Dr. Ulrike Köhl partners, and its success will be the ability of these partners
to cooperate. After several months, it feels like much of
University of Leipzig
the structures that will support the exciting SaxoCell
Fraunhofer IZI what has happened so far has been building the team and
projects, getting to know the many new enthusiastic faces
(unfortunately, mostly on video conferences), and talking to
university, city and state representatives about the
importance of what SaxoCell can achieve. There has indeed
been a lot of that, but there has also been time to enjoy the
science that feeds the SaxoCell projects. Scientifically, we
are in exciting times. However, we should not put aside that
these are also onerous times. We believe that science (and
a lot of tolerance and cooperation) will provide the
Prof. Dr. Ezio Bonifacio solutions. Science starts from the discoveries and is
Technical University Dresden complete when it delivers to society.
