President Angela Ittel got to know all this and more during her visit to the Carl-Friedrich-Gauss-Faculty last week. In her spotlight<\/a>, she describes her impressions of our “cross-sectional faculty”.<\/p>\n Congratulations to Julian Leonard Rudolph<\/a>! The civil engineering graduate has received the young scientist award of the Society for Construction History. In his master’s thesis, he dealt with historical connecting techniques for copper plates in large sculptures and examined them using the so-called “Seesen Quadriga” as an example.<\/p>\n Lukas Outzen is doing research on this in the Research Training Group 2075 “Modelling the constitutive evolution of building materials and structures with respect to aging\u201d. We introduce the doctoral student with a short portrait<\/a>.<\/p>\n For all those who are still undecided about which party to vote for on Sunday, we have a decision-making aid. Our Council of Doctoral Students, together with other doctoral networks, has prepared election touchstones<\/a> on science policy. The questions were directed at all parties currently represented in the Bundestag. The answers were published together with an overview of the parties’ positions. An insight into the higher education policy goals of the parties is also provided by the central concerns of the German Rectors’ Conference<\/a>, the Studentenwerk<\/a> and the Education and Science Union<\/a>.<\/p>\n With the start of the winter semester, students and employees return to campus and with them their growling stomachs. The Studentenwerk<\/a> is therefore gradually opening more locations and increasing the capacity of its food service. Because it is not yet possible to estimate how many will want to eat in the dining halls, the to-go offer will remain for the time being.<\/p>\n More news from the Studentenwerk. A new food offering, reasonable prices, less waste and efficient buildings and technology: starting in 2022, university catering<\/a> will be realigned. This is because the needs of students and employees, trends and preferences are changing, and so the range of food on offer in the dining halls is also in a constant state of flux.<\/p>\n Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has awarded Professor Brigitte M. Jockusch the Cross of Merit 1st Class of the Federal Republic of Germany. The award recognises the extraordinary abilities, strategic vision and ethical sensitivity of the biologist<\/p>\n Professor Reinhold Haux of Peter L. Reichertz Institute for Medical Informatics (PLRI) has retired. From 2007 to 2017, Haux was the managing director of the PLRI, which the TU is the only institute to operate jointly and interdisciplinarily with the Hannover Medical School.<\/p>\n As of the winter term the monthly “Research-JourFixe (FJF)”<\/a> offers the opportunity to get to know ideas, initiatives and people around the Core Research Areas “Future City”. The program starts on October 29 with the two new research initiatives “Rest and Resource – Chrono-Topographies of Waste” and “Inequality and the City”.<\/p>\n On October 7 and 8, the online research conference<\/a> 2021 of the Cluster of Excellence SE\u00b2A will take place. National and international experts from universities, research institutions and industry will discuss the aviation-relevant topics “Liquid hydrogen and SAF in future aircraft” and “Electric drive systems and power electronics”.<\/p>\n The “Valkyrie” project won this year’s Lower Saxony Innovation Award<\/a> in the category \u201cVision\u201d. This is a system with which small satellites, so-called cubesats, can be transported into orbit at low cost. Provided everything goes according to plan, the project is scheduled to start in 2025.<\/p>\n In order to be able to support international students even better in the future with their special challenges in everyday study life, the International House of the TU Braunschweig established the working group International Student Support<\/a>. An overview of all offers can be found on the new page.<\/p>\n\u25ba The Quadriga under the microscope<\/h3>\n
