NBG Business Seeds visit at the CRaFTC premises
We sincerely thank the NBG Business Seeds Team and the CUT Colleagues for organizing the visit to our premises.
We showcased the outcome of the project and discussed possibilities for transferring the technology beyond the research community, with the potential for commercial exploitation or even the establishment of a spin-off company.




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.
