Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 9 in 3D
In early July we had the opportunity to record Gustav Mahler's 9th Symphony in the Eurogress. The bright, uniform illumination of the performance area and the proper positioning of the recording unit have led to particularly good results in this extraordinary performance. This recording profited definitely from all our experience gained out of previous measurement campaigns in the orchestra.

Block Seminar "The engineer as manager"
In this summer term Dr.-Joachim Schläper again successfully completed his block seminar "Der Ingenieur als Manager", which is highly attractive for the students. Within a week, students of IK and TI learn about methods and procedures for self-analysis and self-management. This also prepares them for future management tasks in projects, teams and corporate hierarchies.
