Prof Peter Baumgartner from the Danube University Krems (DUK) visited our faculty Innovation North during the past two days. Since 2005, several students from DUK had registered at Leeds Met for a PhD degree, and the first students are approaching the completion of their degree. In our meetings with Peter we discussed the terms for future collaboration in teaching and also in research activities.
Peter was very impressed by the interdisciplinary activities which we demonstrated within our faculty and in collaborative work with other faculties, and by the 24/7 access to our library.
Unfortunately the weather here in Leeds was not very hospitable: rain on Tuesday, snow sleet on Wednesday, and today thick fog which led to the cancellation of his flight. He will have a very long journey back to Krems tonight.
