► TU Braunschweig is involved in a new research network
The new research network Klima.Zukunftslabor UMEX-HOPE at the Lower Saxony Centre for Climate Research (ZKfN) investigates the effects of the microclimate on health. The research project, in which TU Braunschweig is participating through the Institute for Geoecology, is funded with around five million euros from the joint funding programme zukunft.niedersachsen of the state of Lower Saxony and the VolkswagenStiftung.
► Research for sustainable aviation: “Commitment and passion”
Michelangelo Grappadelli works as a doctoral student at the Institute of Fluid Mechanics. He has investigated the laminar boundary layer of aircraft wings for the SE2A Cluster of Excellence. However, as he says in his interview, for him it is more than just research.
► Inaugural lectures
Professors of the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences will hold their inaugural lectures on 23 April: Prof. Julia Gebert about “LIFE IN WASTE is not wasted! Nachhaltigkeit in der Abfall- und Ressourcenwirtschaft durch biologische Prozesse” and Prof. Torsten Sachs about “Mehr Moor? Wie Wiedervernässung und Dürre die Treibhausgasdynamik in Niedermooren verändern”.
► Mail from … the Sabbatical
In our magazine, Christian Müller, Head of the Department Budget Law and Financial Services, reports about his sabbatical abroad and offers insights into the motivations behind his extended leave.
► Polish-German student workshop in the small Silesian town of Ziębice
The workshop in March focused on the German-Jewish heritage in the region and aimed to document the local empty synagogue and Jewish cemetery from an architectural research perspective and to develop ideas for the future use of the synagogue complex.
► Honour for pioneering work
Prof. Eduard Jorswieck, Managing Director of the Institute of Communications Engineering, has been elected a member of the National Academy of Artificial Intelligence (NAAI). The Academy honours Prof. Jorswieck for his ‘pioneering work in the field of physical layer security and contributions to 6G technologies’.

► Darling of the week
The campus is in full bloom with beautiful yellow flowers! Thanks to nearly 130 students from the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences who planted around 30,000 bulbs across the central and north campuses. Thanks to Faculty 3 and GB3, the splendour of the flowers can be enjoyed from many new seating areas on campus. Thank you very much for this! We wish everyone sunny spring days and a happy Easter.
