The purpose of this event is to present our new equipment – both theoretically and practically, introduce new staff members, discuss future investments and hear your feedback so that we can keep improving the quality of our services.

Please register for the lectures and demos here.
We encourage all IMCF users to spend a few moments to fill in a brief user feedback form.
