100 years of female students at BOKU

BOKU-Stories
With our new format, the BOKU Stories, we present people at BOKU and ask them to introduce themselves and their research. It all starts with Prof. Thomas Ertl from the Institute of Sanitary Engineering and Water Pollution Control. What his research is all about and how he got his nickname "Mr. Kanal": See for yourself in this first of our all-new series of videos.
