Re-election to a position in the DFG
As a result of the review boards election in 2011 Prof. Leyens was voted to be a member of the review board Materials Engineering for the duration of 2012 to 2015. As a consequence he entered his second term in the joint committee Deposition and Surface Engineering. The voice of materials engineering was strengthened by the selection of Prof. Alexander Michaelis for the area Composite Materials, also in the review board Materials Engineering.
"I am very happy about the trust that my professional colleagues have shown in me through their vote", commented Prof. Leyens on his re-election. There were around 100,000 scientists entitled to vote in the review board elections. The review board is responsible for holding the quality of the reviewing process in the DFG at the highest level and the setting of a strategic direction through the scientific funding process of the DFG.
