  2. Defense Melvin Schubert

    On November 27, 2025, Melvin successfully defended his doctoral thesis. He managed the traditional flower toss without any problems, with one small exception: Melvin opted for a flower wreath. We wish Melvin all the best and every success for the future.

  3. Visit the light garden in the botanical garden

    As a highlight at the end of 2025, we decided to take a trip to the botanical garden. After a quick bite to eat, we visited the greenhouses and strolled through the Christmas market. We ended the evening with music and conversation.
