Are now mandatory in Braunschweig in shops and on public transport. Correctly they are called “mouth-nose-coverings”. Even at our university they have to be worn if the minimum distance of two metres to the next person cannot be maintained. Why and how to wear them is explained in the new handout in the\u00a0Infoportal<\/a>.<\/p>\n What we can achieve in Corona times is shown by the project\u00a0“behelfs.mundschutz.fuer.braunschweig”<\/a>\u00a0from Sandkasten. Together 250 people sew makeshift masks for the region and donate them to institutions in Braunschweig. Almost 10,000 masks have already been sewn and the project is still looking for active support. Everyone can help.<\/p>\n Active pharmaceutical ingredients must arrive in the body at the right time and in the right dose. Professor\u00a0Heike Bunjes and her team<\/a>\u00a0at the Department of Pharmaceutics put the active ingredients into the right form – right down to individualized drugs.<\/p>\n If something shall drive autonomously, it must know where it is. The Core Research Area Mobility<\/a> is now investigating\u00a0radar sensors\u00a0that map the ground. Autonomous vehicles and robots are thus achieving new levels of reliability.<\/p>\n The Federal Government’s app is to warn contact persons of Covid-19 patients in the future. Professor\u00a0Konrad Rieck<\/a>\u00a0from the Institute of System Security explains how the app works and the challenges for data protection.<\/p>\n … is one of the scientific and personal guidelines of Professor\u00a0Wolfgang Durner<\/a>, and as the representative for sustainability he has a central task for the entire university. Today, however, we look back on the successful term of office of the Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs.<\/p>\n We report regularly from the various home offices of the TU Braunschweig. To help you get through these challenging times in the best possible way, the\u00a0Health Management<\/a>\u00a0collects a wide range of tips and links for the new working routine.<\/p>\n Professor\u00a0Julia Gerick<\/a>\u00a0experiences a special challenge. Appointed on 1 April, she started her professorship at the Institute of Educational Sciences in the middle of the universities emergency mode. It’s a good thing she’s there now, because she’s researching teaching with digital media.<\/p>\n For Professor\u00a0Katja Koch<\/a>, this new working routine means above all many video conferences. As Vice President for Teacher Training and Knowledge Transfer, the normal working day already consisted of many meetings. Now, the meetings with the Presidency, the deans and the “WeCare” project ensure a tight schedule.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Personnel Department alternates between the home office and the offices in the forum building. Head\u00a0Anne Fritz<\/a>\u00a0and assistant\u00a0Maria Hasselfeld<\/a>\u00a0report on the new working day in a much sought-after department.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Project Group Teaching and Media Education<\/a>\u00a0has set up a special programme for teachers. They offer webinars, lots of instructions on various tools, but also personal advice for online and location-independent teaching.<\/p>\n The part-time job is gone, but the rent still must be paid: the Corona crisis is hitting many students financially hard. The\u00a0Carolo-Wilhelmina Foundation<\/a>\u00a0helps and awards scholarships for short-term financial bottlenecks. In order to help more students, the foundation is starting a fundraising campaign.<\/p>\n From now on the Studentenwerk OstNiedersachsen will bring you baked goods, coffee and hot food by food truck. One truck is parked daily at the Universit\u00e4tsplatz, a second one drives through Braunschweig and Wolfenb\u00fcttel. The\u00a0current timetable and menu\u00a0<\/a>is on the website of the Studentenwerk.<\/p>\n\u25ba\u00a0Much more \u201cmasks\u201d \u2013 everyone can help!<\/h3>\n
