27 abstracts of young scientists were selected for 3-minute presentations for two lightning talk sessions and subsequent poster sessions.
STOE sponsored three prizes that were awarded by a committee of three experienced scientists to:
Marcel Lach, RWTH Aachen
Stefanie Hauber, Fraunhofer ISC, Glas und Mineralische Werkstoffe
Christian Ludt, TU Bergakademie Freiberg
