“One thing, that fascinates me so much about TU Braunschweig, is that it’s so dynamic, that there’s such a great spirit of optimism here, which I would like to use and add my inputs based on my longstanding experience, so that together we can optimize and create an even better university.” In a video greeting, our new <\/span>president, Professor Angela Ittel,<\/span><\/a> introduces herself and looks at the goals and challenges of TU Braunschweig.<\/span><\/p>\n What competencies do future specialists in quantum technologies actually need? Professor Rainer M\u00fcller and doctoral student Franziska Greinert from the Institute for the Didactics of Natural Sciences investigated this and created a <\/span>competency framework<\/span><\/a> on behalf of the EU Commission.<\/span><\/p>\n The new \u201eStiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre\u201c is funding the <\/span>projects “ProDiGI” and “Co\u00b3Learn”<\/span><\/a> with a total of 5.7 million euros. Both projects aim to further develop digital teaching, which has become much more important during the Corona pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n As part of the new DFG-funded “Colibri” project, the <\/span>University Library<\/span><\/a> is digitizing around 4,000 volumes from its children’s book collection. The project partners want to build a digital collection of around 15,000 books of German-language children’s and youth literature from the period 1801 to 1914.<\/span><\/p>\n Students of the Institute for Architecture-Related Art (IAK) have designed <\/span>pigeon lofts<\/span><\/a> for the birds at Hagenmarkt and are presenting them at St. Katharinenkirche until July 22. They like to initiate a public debate on the topic of “pigeons in the city”.<\/span><\/p>\n … can now be examined in the pavilion of the <\/span>Reallabor Hagenmarkt<\/span><\/a>. Dr. Liseth P\u00e9rez from the Institute for Geosystems and Bioindication (IGeo) has prepared an exhibition with ostracods and water fleas. The microorganisms can be used to reconstruct current and past changes in biodiversity, water quality and climate.<\/span><\/p>\n Just in time for the start of the Sommerlochfestival, the rainbow flag<\/a><\/span>\u00a0was hoisted on the Universit\u00e4tsplatz on July 15 to set a sign for acceptance, diversity and self-determination.<\/span><\/p>\n \u25ba Two students win awards in poster competition<\/p>\n Aerospace engineering students Tim Hertwig and Catherine Rau won this year’s ASME Turbo Expo <\/span>poster competition<\/span><\/a>. Turbo Expo is one of the world’s most important conferences in the field of turbomachinery.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On July 22, students will digitally present their semester projects at the “<\/span>Young Software Developers Day<\/span><\/a>“. Among them: An AR Escape Game, a virtual office environment and a billiards app.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Information on the individual calls and the application process can be found on the <\/span>DFG website<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Interdisciplinary teams can apply for the Volkswagen Foundation’s <\/span>call for proposals<\/span><\/a> “Global Challenges \u2013 Pandemic Prevention: the Role of Human-Environment Relationships” until November 04. Among other things, the initiative strengthens international relations between researchers from different regions around the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>research project “lautlos&einsatzbereit”<\/span><\/a> showed that the potential applications are more far-reaching than previously assumed. It also showed positive effects on fuel and overall energy consumption. The results were published in a guide.<\/span><\/p>\n\u25ba A map of quantum competencies<\/h3>\n
