Garching, Germany
Near Munich
On
10, 11 & 12 November 2009, the Centro
Para Prevenção da Poluição (C3P) and the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration (NASA) hosted their 7th annual
technical workshop on environment and energy at the GE Global
Research – Europe facility in Munich/Garching, Germany.
The workshop provided an excellent forum to showcase innovative
and emerging pollution prevention and renewable energy
technologies, share lessons learned, and identify new joint
opportunities. The concept of collaboration and its inherent
benefits was stressed and several desirable interactions
occurred between presenters and attendees resulting in numerous
desired accomplishments.
Individuals from five countries (United States, Portugal,
Germany, France, and United Kingdom) attended, including
students and professors from the University of California, San
Diego (UCSD), the Technical University of Munich (TUM), and the
Munich University of Applied Technology (FHM). Forty U.S. and
international subject matter experts presented on
environmental-related topics, ranging from renewable and
alternative energies to climate change response to electronics
recycling, among others. The workshop was completed with a
November 13, 2009 tour of GE’s gas engine manufacturing plant in Jenbach, Austria.
In conjunction with workshop, C3P and
NASA also held the renewal signing ceremony of the 2002 Joint
Statement and Terms of Reference to continue through 2011.
