Die aktuellen Empfehlungen bzgl. Veranstaltungen gerade auch hier in der Region Ludwigshafen ändern und verschärfen sich täglich, so dass wir uns entschlossen haben, die Veranstaltung vom 27.03.-29.03.2020 im Freischwimmer Ludwigshafen abzusagen. Mit dieser Maßnahme möchte die Hochschule als Veranstalterin sowie die Kooperationspartner ( LDEW Landesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft Hessen/Rheinland-Pfalz e.V., Energieversorgung Mittelrhein AG, Technische Werke Ludwigshafen AG und Wasserversorgung Rheinhessen-Pfalz GmbH) gewährleisten,dass alle Beteiligten und ihre Angehörigen geschützt werden. Es fällt uns sehr schwer diesen Schritt zu tun, da wir uns schon sehr auf Euch alle gefreut haben und wir ein super Wochenende miteinander erlebt hätten, bei dem bestimmt, die ein oder andere „brilliante“ (Gründungs-) Idee entstanden wäre. Zusammen mit unseren Kooperationsunternehmen und Förderern werden wir in den nächsten Wochen das weitere Vorgehen besprechen und Euch frühestmöglich über einen Ersatztermin informieren.
