Final project meeting in Blaustein
February 2026
On 17 February 2026, the DENSITIM team met with our practice partner müllerblaustein in Blaustein.
The focus was on presenting and discussing the final project results and jointly looking ahead to possible follow-up activities. The constructive exchange once again demonstrated how valuable close cooperation between the research team and practice partners is. A particular highlight was the subsequent tour of the müllerblaustein production facility.
We look forward to publishing the results in the summer in the form of concrete recommendations for practical application.
