Harald Schwalbe said: “Together with Prof. Guo from Nanjing University and Prof. Liu from Wuhan University and member of the Chinese Academy of Science, we exchanged our great excitement to intensify the scientific exchange between Instruct and Chinese scientists. Having the chance to meet after the long Covid break allowed intense discussions and scientific exchange."
The scientific conference that the Instruct Director attended was long planned. Now, the signs are good for renewed exchange on the scientific level, and adds a further feather in the cap for Instruct’s international efforts.
