Science and research know no borders – and, as is well known, live from exchange. Therefore, we were very happy to welcome Prof. Wolrad Rommel from the German-Kazakh University in Almaty for an international exchange at TU Darmstadt. Together with Vice President Heribert Warzecha, Prof. Elbert and our dedicated team of scientific staff, we had the opportunity to present the work of our university as well as our ongoing research on critical topics, such as Combined Transport in Germany and Europe, and transport and storage capacities along the Trans-Caspian Railway, to present. We also discussed potential joint projects that could positively change the transportation industry. The meeting was extremely informative and productive, and we are already looking forward to our further cooperation.
