Why I joined IWWG
Between IWWG-members I found not only excellent scientists, but also most inspiring people I ever met. IWWG has a great potential for interdisciplinary collaboration in the research agenda, in the exchange of innovative thoughts, or in the mobility of students. I found worthwhile to set economics into the centre of attention of natural scientists or engineers and to create a scientific hub for future partnerships.
