► Autonomous rendezvous for sustainable parcel delivery
On 22 March, a European research consortium at the Automotive Research Centre Niedersachsen (NFF) will present a logistics system for a more sustainable last mile. In real road traffic, the scientists in the “LogiSmile” project will demonstrate a complete solution for a fully autonomous logistics concept, consisting of two autonomous lifting and delivery vehicles, on Hermann-Blenk-Straße.
► Recycling solid-state batteries
Solid-state batteries offer major advantages over conventional lithium-ion batteries. In order to counteract the rapidly increasing demand for materials and possible bottlenecks in battery production, customised recycling processes must be developed for the various types of solid-state batteries. Scientists from BLB, SE²A and Fraunhofer IST present solutions for this in the magazine “Nature Energy”.
► After the anniversary is before the future
Last year, Braunschweig University Library celebrated 275 years of knowledge spaces with various activities and events. A review of the anniversary year can now be found on the homepage. The publication of a commemorative volume on the history of the library is planned for this spring as the last official event of the UBiläums 2023.

Do you need support with research data management? Are you struggling with an application for a grant? To support you with these or similar challenges, the RDM4Braunschweig Data Dialogue will take place on 22 April from 9 am to 12.15 pm at BRICS.
► Darling of the week
Our darlings of the week are our many alumni*ae who have shaped and influenced the university in its 279-year history. Since the beginning of the year, a team from the Alumni & Career Service Centre has been working to promote the exchange with former students, employees and academics. Take a look at the 34 alumni portraits already published and visit the Linkedin channel. Maybe you know someone or find someone again, and get connected!
