We are pleased to announce that on July 9th and 10th, the 3rd general assembly of HighScape has taken place in Erfurt, Free State of Thuringia, Germany.

A huge thank to the colleagues from TU Ilmenau for hosting us at the ThEx, paving the floor for insightful discussions, and creating impressive experiences with a great tour through Erfurt’s old town and a dinner at “Das Ballenberger”.

Key discussion points:

• aligning the timing between prototype available, control strategy development, and test facility availability

• strengthening the interaction between the work-packages, for example how the simulation environment can be used for design space exploration and to provide guidance for early decision making (frontloading)

• and for sure a recap of all the inputs required to finalize our mid-term report

Again, thanks a lot to our colleagues hosting and all participants for the fruitful exchange. Looking forward to the next meeting and further evolution in our project!
