The Asmis (Wilhelm-Ostwald-Institute for Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Leipzig University), Dopfer (Institute for Optics and Atomic Physics, Technical University Berlin) and Schlemmer (I. Institute of Physics, University of Cologne) groups met for the second time after six years in the Wilhelm-Ostwald-Park in Großbothen (Saxony) to exchange scientific information and ideas. The weather played along brilliantly and the event was a success along all lines, also thanks to the great infrastructure and the charming staff on site. The next retreat is targeted for 2026.
