Today we
held our kick-off event for the PEGASOS campaigns in Friedrichshafen. With Prof.
Annette Schavan (German minister of education and research), Robert-Jan
Smits (Director-General for research
and innovation of the European Commissions) and great weather we had ideal conditions for the
event.
