Team spirit is an important ingredient for excellent science

From lab work to the sports field – STFS and RSM took part in TU Darmstadt’s meet & move festival.

As I’ve mentioned before, my institute Simulation of reactive Thermo-Fluid Systems (STFS), TU Darmstadt and the institute Reaktive Strömungen und Messtechnik (RSM), TU Darmstadt led by Andreas Dreizler work very closely together. We hold a weekly joint seminar, go on a one-week strategy retreat every two years, and organize all our celebrations together – from summer parties and Christmas events to PhD graduations.

This close collaboration shows not only in our day-to-day scientific work, but also in joint research projects and publications.

A big part of our team spirit also comes from shared sports activities. This week, many of us took part in the TU meet & move festival organized by Technische Universität Darmstadt. (https://lnkd.in/eNmf__pZ)

You can see some of us in the photos! Even though only the STFS logo is visible, RSM was also well represented – and they’re even right next to the STFS flag. (maybe they secretly want to do simulations too? )

Despite the bad weather, it was a great team event. Thanks to everyone for the amazing effort.
