EVENT POSTPONED

In the light of the current Coronavirus pandemic, we have decided to postpone the May session of the IEAI Speaker series. We hope to annocue new dates later this year.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. However, these measures are necessary, as the IEAI and TUM community are committed to playing their part to #FlattenTheCurve.
