The end of the Summer Term 2023 was marked by the traditional Summer BBQ of the Institute of Biomaterials, which took place on 17th July 2023. Most members of the Institute, including our academic visitors and students, in addition to PhD students, post-docs and permanent staff, attended this celebration on a very nice day in Erlangen. In his speech Prof. Boccaccini remarked, as he does every year, the highly international composition of our Institute, which has been maintained over the years: people from eighteen nationalities were present. We wish everyone a good summer time!
