On September 27th and 28th, the 1st Herbsttagung of IMISE was held at Schloss Machern. It was intended for knowledge exchange of relevant research activities at the IMISE and the KKSL. The substantial agenda offered a total of 28 lectures from all research areas of the institute. All lectures provided valuable insights into each others' working areas.

The workshop is considered a great success by all participants. Reasons for this were not only the outstandingly interesting lectures but also the comfortable ambience at Schloss Machern. The 2nd Herbsttagung will presumably be held at the beginning of October 2006.
