Last Thursday we kicked off the Rhine-Neckar Lab Automation Community!

Our founding group of enthusiasts met at the New42 restaurant in Mannheim to kickstart the community, also welcoming friends from neighboring regions.

We are excited to contribute to an open exchange of ideas, experiences and common struggles around lab automation and digitalization and learn from each other in many future iterations.

The community is not strictly limited to the Rhine-Neckar region but is also open to friends from nearby regions (e.g. like Darmstadt, Frankfurt, Mainz, Karlsruhe, Kaiserslautern or Saarbrücken).

Spread the news so that other enthusiasts from our region can join!

If you are interested, send a join request to the LinkedIn group (link).

Let’s connect, inspire and share our experiences around lab automation!
