Administrators , Institute Events , Visiting VIPs
Mr. Westphal visited IIT Madras in 1965 along with Prof. Hilbig. They had a series of meetings with faculty and administrators of IIT Madras during their period of stay. According to the article ‘Tu Berlin And IIT’ by DJN published in Campastimes, the two gentlemen visited all the departments and met with the Director in order to get an idea about the Institute and the ways in which Technical University, Berlin could help IIT Madras under the Second Indo-German Agreement. They came to the conclusion that although the Technical University, Berlin would not be able to send senior professors to IIT Madras on a long-term basis, they would be able to send professors for short periods of time to conduct seminars and group discussions and to give lectures.
