Members of the PIONEER Alliance recently met on the occasion of the by TH Köln co-hosted Science meets City symposium in Cologne. Naturally, this was combined with a visit to TH Köln, where personal exchange was cultivated and new, interesting cooperation possibilities were discussed.

Personal exchange was rarely possible in the last two years. However, a visit to TH Köln was on the agenda, when the polisMobility fair as well as the Science meets City symposium, both thematically a great fit to the alliances’ focus, took place in Cologne. Small delegations from the alliance members not only attended fruitful meetings at the TH, they also supported the symposium as speakers and provided their expertise during round-table discussions. The visit was very successful and opened many new ideas and possible ways of cooperation.
