Intensive exchange on various topics

The meeting focused on three topics that were discussed in depth.
Firstly, the responsible communication of research results to the public was again discussed using a current example and a recommendation from the Advisory Board to the DZD speakers was drawn up.

Secondly, the DZD website in general and the Advisory Board website in particular were analyzed in detail and specific suggestions for improvement were developed from a patient perspective.

With his spontaneous documentation illustration, Advisory Board member Marian Meinhardt-Schönfeld once again impressively demonstrated the level of detail of the comments on the DZD website .

The future strategic direction of the Advisory Board was also discussed. An increased exchange between the Advisory Board and DZD scientists is seen as very important.
