Josef Krainer Promotion Award for Simone Radl
Since its inception in 2002, the PCCL enables women equal opportunities in research and technology. That the strategic measures taken are bearing fruit can be shown not only by a women's quota of 44% but in particular by the successful female researchers at the PCCL. Hence Ms. Simone Radl was awarded the Josef Krainer Promotion Award 2016 for her work on "Smart Polymers".
