[Centre] Michel and Volker at Winchester

[Volker Grassmuck]

Great, Sean. Thanks for making this happen and for inviting me. This is going to be fun. I  look forward to exploring how to cooperate with Lueneburg where the focus is moving images and one of the research areas is peer structures. 

See you soon.

Best,
Volker
