SPRING Network Meeting
From Nov 5 to 9, the annual SPRING Network Meeting took place in Dortmund. All the partner universities had sent their representatives, Mario Delos Reyes (Philippines), Ally Hasan Namangaya (Tanzania), Patricio Belloy (Chile), Eric Oduro-Ofori and Dan Inkoom (Ghana).

The first two days were comitted to the admission of SPRING students for the next academic year and the selection of qualified candidates for DAAD scholarships, which was conducted together with the representatives from DAAD (Anke Stahl and Birgit Skailes). A focus of the following days was a discussion of scenarios and exchange of ideas about the future direction of the SPRING pro­gram to meet anticipated challenges. These were also attended by Prof. Wiechmann, who is a member of the ISPC Board. The last day saw two lectures in the SPRING Colloquium given by Alfredo Erlwein from the Universidad Austral de Chile and Mario Delos Reyes from the University of the Philippines.
