Two posters which were created in the framework of a cooperation with "BEST - Bioenergy and Sustainable Technologies GmbH is a K1 Competence Centre" were awarded at the European Biomass Conference. The titles of the posters are

Also the "25. Jahrestagung der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Endokrinologie und Stoffwechsel" has been cancelled due to Sars-CoV-2-virus ("Coronavirus"). Nevertheless, the organisation team has decided to award prizes for selected contributions. Thomas Benninger and Markus Reichhartinger from the Institute of Automation and Control were awarded the Young Investigator Award for the paper "MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF THYROID HORMONE LEVELS DURING THE COURSE OF METHAMICOLE THERAPY IN GRAVES DISEASE", which was co-authored with colleagues from the Division of Endocrinology and Diabetology at the Medical University of Graz.
