Last week Sophie Quach attended the TIE-conference in Darmstadt, Germany. TIE stands for Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship and this year’s workshops and talks all took up these topics with a focus on the possibilities of data science. The event is a great place to meet fellow colleagues from the German-speaking countries and, moreover, to foster an exchange about current research streams. E&I team members regularly participate in conferences and workshops to bring new knowledge into the faculty and to share research results with the academic community.
