In mid-January, Dr. Volker Pötzsch, Head of Cyber/Information Technology Sub-Department I at the German Federal Ministry of Defence (BMVg), visited the Research Institute CODE. During his visit, the brigadier general learned about the dtec.bw research project MuQuaNet and the Cyber Range, among other things.

As part of his visit to the University of the Bundeswehr Munich (UniBw M), Brigadier General Dr. Volker Pötzsch, who has been Head of the Cyber/Information Technology Sub-Department I at the BMVg since October, also visited the RI CODE to get an insight into its work. Dr. Pötzsch was accompanied on his visit by Volker Eiseler, CIT I 2 officer at the BMVg. Both were given detailed insights into the MuQuaNet research project and CODE's own Cyber Range.

Pötzsch, who himself earned his PhD at UniBw M, was impressed by the progress that has already been made in the projects. His visit underlines the importance of RI CODE as a cyber security research institute and demonstrates the continued interest of political decision-makers in forward-looking technologies.

Earlier in that day, Dr. Pötzsch and Eiseler met with UniBw M's President Prof. Dr. Eva-Maria Kern on the campus in Neubiberg and visited the office of the Bundeswehr Centre for Digitalization and Technology Research (dtec.bw).
