We had great fun during the dragonboat race and Oktoberfest party. This was only possible by the help of the Dragonboat team and the Mückenwirt team.

Finally, we would like to thank all participants, for coming to Magdeburg to join the conference and contribute to its sessions; thus, filling the scientific as well as the social events with life.
