Only rarely does the TU Braunschweig Senate meet for an exceptional\u00a0 meeting. This coming Monday is the case. The only item on the agenda: a limited free attempt regulation for the upcoming digital exams in the current semester. The Presidency, all faculties and the administration have taken up the students’ urgent request and have been working hard to initiate the necessary changes. More information will be available at the beginning of next week.<\/span><\/p>\n Never before have all lifts at our university been out of order at the same time. But it happened this week. The cause was connection problems to the emergency call centre, which had presumably occurred in the supra-local telephone network. Many thanks to <\/span>Department 32<\/span><\/a>, which was immediately on the spot and ensured that almost all lifts could be put back into operation very quickly! The service provider will be able to rectify the defect in the Oker high-rise building today or on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n At present, colleagues are supporting the Public Health Services in Gifhorn and Braunschweig. If, after consultation with your superiors, you also see the possibility of stepping in, with at least 20 hours, for at least 3 months, we are still happy to receive your information to the <\/span>Personnell Department<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n In order to optimally adapt floating offshore wind turbines to underwater conditions, researchers of the <\/span>Leichtwei\u00df Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources (LWI)<\/span><\/a> are simulating the phenomenon of seabed liquefaction. With a computer model, the scientists want to develop a tool that helps the planning engineers answer questions about anchor design, soil type and site selection. In an interview, project coordinator <\/span>Dr. Christian Windt<\/span><\/a> talks about the development of the model and his research on wave energy in Ireland.<\/span><\/p>\n To reduce noise, CO2 emissions and energy consumption of aircraft,\u00a0 TU Braunschweig is working on novel aircraft concepts. The “Clean Sky2” project <\/span>DISPROP<\/span><\/a> focuses on electrically powered aircraft and the arrangement of propellers.<\/span><\/p>\n We think of gold primarily as jewelry, but it also helps in medicine. <\/span>Seyedeh Mahbobeh Mahdavi<\/span><\/a> is a doctoral student in the PhD program \u201cDrug Discovery and Chemical Informatics for New Anti-Infectives\u201d and is researching how gold compounds could benefit new drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n A team of chemists succeeded in developing novel dye molecules based in sugars. These <\/span>glycoBODIPYs<\/span><\/a> can dye certain cell components.<\/span><\/p>\n Our picture of the month for February shows the blossom of St. John\u2019s wort. Professor Ludger Beerhues and his research group at the <\/span>Institute of Pharmaceutical Biology<\/span><\/a> are investigating how the hyperforin contained in the plant can be produced in the laboratory.<\/span><\/p>\n From May 3 to June 13, events fitting the theme \u201cZero Pollution\u201d can become part of the <\/span>EU Green Week<\/span><\/a>, getting additional attention. The deadline for <\/span>applications<\/span><\/a> is March 12.<\/span><\/p>\n From February 10 to March 10, events will provide insights into the new framework program for research and innovation of the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research – <\/span>Horizon Europe<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Live on track, but controlled from home. In a public livestream on February 12 at 6 pm, little autonomous speedsters compete at the Carolo Cup.<\/span><\/p>\n How was the Audimax renovated, what were the challenges and how does it look now? The public online Tour \u201c<\/span>The Audimax \u2013 preservation and revitalization<\/span><\/a>\u201d with subsequent discussion provides answers on February 11 from 1:30 to 4:30 pm.<\/span><\/p>\n\u25ba Limited lift-off<\/h3>\n
