Student visit from Ulm University of Applied Sciences

We were happy to receive a group of very enthusiastic students from the Ulm University of Applied Sciences – Germany.  The Students attended a presentation of the CRaFTC project, and observed ongoing experimental work in the facilities of the Centre. Many thanks to All Students and to Prof. Dr. Georg Gutenbrunner for their interest in our research work and the Centre facilities.
