Join us live as the staff of the Institute for Advanced Biomechanics and Motion Studies (IBMS) once again bridge the gap between research and practice, combining scientific precision with the dynamics of elite sports, cycling technology, and orthopedics. The event kicks off at Hochschule Offenburg’s Campus West, Max-Planck-Straße 1, with a warm-up session titled “Welcome and Networking,” as is customary.

Starting at 4:00 p.m., it’s time for “The Pros Reveal All!” Simon Geschke, Tour de France stage winner, and Prof. Dr. Matthias Scherge, CEO of the Snowstorm Institute for Athlete Support, will join other participants in a panel discussion covering aerodynamics, the perfect takeoff, and biomechanical efficiency in professional cycling. (Martin Schmitt, ski jumping legend and Olympic champion, unfortunately had to cancel at the last minute)

Hands-on research and lab activities are on the program starting at 5 p.m. Interactive lab tours and hands-on experiments, a live vote for the Best Poster Award via Mentimeter, company presentations, as well as snacks and cold drinks await prospective students, experts, and other visitors.
