Editor: Hannah Kre\u00df<\/span><\/p>\n Lower Saxony’s Science Minister Falko Mohrs<\/span><\/a> started his summer tour with a visit to the Leichtwei\u00df Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources (LWI). During a tour of the experimental hall, he learnt about the offshore wind energy research being carried out at the Saltwater Wave-Current Flume.<\/span><\/p>\n Fibre-reinforced plastics play a central role in modern aircraft construction: they are light, extremely resilient and resistant to material fatigue. The <\/span>interdisciplinary reFrame project<\/span><\/a> is researching the recycling of these high-performance materials in order to optimise it so that the recycled materials can be reused in aircraft construction.<\/span><\/p>\n Under a microscope, they look like pearls glistening in the light. However, the beads shown in<\/span> our <\/span>picture of the month<\/span><\/a> are actually the crystalline phosphorus product struvite, which farmers can use as a mineral fertiliser on their fields. The photo was taken as part of the P-Net project on phosphorus recycling, led by the Institute of Sanitary and Environmental Engineering.<\/span><\/p>\n Professor Dan Sch\u00fcrch<\/span><\/a>, head of the Institute of Design and Building Design, is a member of the newly formed Planning Advisory Board of the City of Braunschweig (Gestaltungsbeirat). The advisory and independent body of experts is tasked with supporting politicians and administrators in matters of resilient, climate-friendly and sustainable construction and urban development.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/b>With the Navigator, the \u201cForum Bildung Digitalisierung<\/span>\u201d<\/span> publishes for the first time a thematically systematised overview of the status of digital transformation in the school system. The study, co-directed by <\/span>Professor Julia Gerick<\/span><\/a> of the Institute for Educational Science, shows that digital transformation is hampered by a considerable lack of knowledge, among other things.<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>TrainingProgramme<\/span><\/a> of Professional and Personnel Development once again offers many new and proven seminar topics for various fields of work. Registration for the seminars in the winter semester is possible from Monday, 9 September, from 12 noon via <\/span>Stud.IP<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n TU Braunschweig is planning to pilot the fully digital and seamless processing of Ricoh invoices from 1 October. Two information events on the digital processing and approval of Ricoh invoices will take place on 10 and 26 September. Further information is available on the <\/span>ZPE website<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n How do you accommodate international students with very different levels of knowledge and expectations, and how do you make a successful transition to English as the language of instruction? The <\/span>online course<\/span><\/a> \u201c<\/span>Teaching and Learning for Global Competence<\/span>\u201d<\/span>, organised by the International Teaching Lab of the Project House from October onwards, offers practical support. <\/span>Registration<\/span><\/a> is now open.<\/span><\/p>\n The German Academic International Network (GAIN) hosted its <\/span>annual conference in San Francisco<\/span><\/a> at the end of August, where internationally mobile scientists from Germany were able to exchange ideas with representatives of the German academic landscape. TU Braunschweig was represented by President Angela Ittel and Dr Dominik Baumgarten from the Research Service.<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>\u201c<\/span>FIT f\u00fcr die Wissenschaft<\/span>\u201d<\/span> newsletter<\/span><\/a> is available to all TU Braunschweig employees to keep you informed about current calls for proposals.<\/span><\/p>\n DFG is once again announcing the<\/span> \u201c<\/span>Communicator Prize – Science Prize of the Stifterverband<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/a>. The prize, worth 50,000 euros, is awarded for outstanding achievements in science communication. (Self-)applications and proposals can be submitted until 30 September.<\/span><\/p>\n What is an ally, what is behind gadj\u00e9 racism and why is the N-word actually so problematic? As part of the focus year <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Racism-critical university<\/span>\u201d<\/span>, the Diversity Coordination Centre is currently posting terms from the <\/span>racism-critical dictionary<\/span><\/a> on Instagram twice a week to provide information about racist language usage in the German language context.<\/span><\/p>\n … are the many colleagues from the fields of automotive engineering, robotics, hydraulic engineering, biology and sustainable urban development, who organised a fantastic programme for the 20 students from German schools abroad during the <\/span>TU9-ING week<\/span><\/a> and provided great insights into study opportunities in the STEM subjects. The students are now taking the great first-hand experience of the visit back to their German schools abroad around the world<\/span><\/p>\n\u25ba <\/span>First stop: Saltwater Wave-Current Flume<\/b>
