“The support granted to CRCs will allow my research and my research group to thrive and expand. Exploring new landscapes, whether physical or conceptual, inspires and promotes creativity, which is central for excellent research. New collaborations act as fertilizer for cutting-edge research. This CRC will thus stimulate and enhance my work.”
