40. What our students say “The opportunity for cooperation with industry was the main reason for me to do my PhD in Paderborn. When you’re working for a company, solving a concrete business problem for them, you are not just trying out an idea. Your research has to be viable. It has to lead to the solution of an actual business issue. This is what really made my research interesting.” -- Jens Peter Kempkes
