Successful 2-year evaluation of CDL-AgePol – Prolongation approved
The progress and evaluation report covering the 1st research period was submitted in April 2022 to the Christian Doppler Research Association. The virtual 2-year evaluation event took place on 11th of May. The video conference was chaired by Prof. Hans Irschik, Chair of the CD Scientific Board. The external reviewer was an internationally recognized and highly renowned polymer physicist with special expertise on the long-term and ageing behavior of functional laminates such as fuel cell membranes, photovoltaic modules, capacitors or vacuum insulation panels.
First, an overview of the CD Laboratory and its activities was presented by the Head of CDL-AgePol, G.M. Wallner. Then, R. Pugstaller (Post-Doc) and the PhD Researchers (C. Marchfelder, G. Säckl, G. Riedl, M. Tiefenthaler, L. Peham) gave excellent talks on the main progress and scientific achievements of the two Tasks and four Subtasks. After a high-level discussion of the ambitious future research plans, their strong interest in and the specific benefits of the CDL-AgePol collaborative research initiative were clearly expressed by the industrial partners voestalpine Stahl and BOREALIS. Special thanks to the external scientific reviewer, who chaired the evaluation conference with great commitment and who raised many challenging and stimulating questions. The research team of CDL-AgePol is highly grateful for such an extraordinary and memorable experience and for the most valuable impressions.
We are very glad to announce that the senate of the Christian Doppler Research Association has approved the prolongation of our CD lab. A few days ago, we got a rather positive feedback along with an official notification by the CDG. We are delighted and highly motivated to continue our successful research activities in the 2nd funding period of CDL-AgePol!
