On May 8 and May 9, 2019, the entire innoFSPEC team came together for our fifth team workshop - this time dedicated to the topics EU proposal writing, joint projects and science communication. The first day started with a key note talk on "Simulation of Sunscreen Performance" held by Prof. Dr. Bernd Herzog, University of Basel and Head of Global Development UV Protection and Scientific Liaisons at BASF. This talk was followed by an in-depth and informative session with Dr. Babette Regierer, SB Science Management, Berlin. The focus of the second day was an inspiring pitch training for scientists given by Nadine Lux and Dr. Gabriele Schönherr, both from science³, Berlin. At the same time the innoFSPEC team worked on six research topics in order to foster joint projects between the groups. We are looking forward to the next workshop in order to push this further!
