As in previous years, our university is going into a winter break<\/a>. All facilities and institutes will be closed from Saturday, 21 December 2024, up to and including Sunday, 5 January 2025. During this period, the telephone exchange and the mail room will also be closed. Individual study spaces are available to students.<\/p>\n The rooms in the \u2018tower\u2019 at Langer Kamp 8 are \u2018de-energised\u2019, the fire alarm system has been installed and activated and the new sanitary facilities are ready for use. This means that all the requirements of the Braunschweig Trade Supervisory Office and the fire brigade have been met on time for the continued use of the ground floor and basement. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all colleagues involved for their active commitment. We would also like to thank all those whose work is unfortunately taking longer due to the activities in LK8 for their understanding. Please note: There will be a siren test and an evacuation drill in the building on 15 January.<\/p>\n Congratulations to Prof. Nils Goseberg<\/a>! The head of the Leichtwei\u00df Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources, has been awarded this year’s AXA IM Research Prize for his research into coastal protection in the context of climate change. The award, which is open to scientists worldwide, is worth \u20ac80,000 and is being presented for the fourth time.<\/p>\n New technologies such as quantum computers and sensors require specialists who combine both quantum physics and engineering expertise. Researchers at TU Braunschweig have developed a competence reference framework<\/a> to ensure the optimal professional qualification for this.<\/p>\n Christmas trees<\/a> were set up in the wave flume of the Leichtwei\u00df Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources not for an early Christmas party, but for a series of experiments. The two students, Johannes Schattmann and Malte Kumlehn, were investigating the effect of pine trees on wave-induced dune erosion.<\/p>\n Prof. Christian Pester (USA) and Prof. Sarah Sch\u00e4fer are working together on a project to improve the mental health of doctoral students in STEM subjects<\/a>. This is because a high level of mental health competence helps them to recognise stress, deal with their own mental health problems and at the same time provide better support for those affected.<\/p>\n Even if they are not deadly on their own, various environmental factors can interact and contribute to the global extinction of amphibians. Evidence of this can be found in a laboratory study by the Zoological Institute<\/a>. It shows that nitrate (as leaching from agricultural nitrogen fertilisation) in combination with temperature stress impairs the adaptability of amphibians.<\/p>\n Over the course of the three-year project, the ReShape training network<\/a>, led by Prof. Simone Kauffeld, has developed a comprehensive picture of the future of work in the automotive industry. This \u2018big picture\u2019 is intended to enable the transformation process to be viewed as a whole and to identify new career paths and development opportunities for employees.<\/p>\n Wei Zhao from China has been honoured with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) prize for the best international student at our university<\/a>. The award recognises her outstanding academic achievements and her remarkable social commitment to the international student community. Congratulations!<\/p>\n Through the funding programme<\/a>, TU Braunschweig would like to offer its scientists the opportunity to enter into targeted collaborations in the ecosystem. It is intended to create an incentive to jointly develop new research projects. Applications must be submitted by 28 February 2025.<\/p>\n Are you conducting research at TU Braunschweig in a STEM discipline or on a STEM topic and are interested in the question of whether or how gender dimensions could be relevant in your own field of research? The call for guest researchers<\/a> (until 28 February 2025) offers an opportunity to diversify research and develop new perspectives.<\/p>\n Research Services present formats for addressing international scientific talents<\/a> as well as funding formats that support, among other things, research stays at TU Braunschweig. The workshop starts on 8 January 2025, 10:30 am.<\/p>\n SynBio<\/a> is a programme run by Prof. Boas Pucker for students to develop their own research ideas in synthetic biology and carry them out independently. The SynBio team 2024 looks back and reports on their project to create blue colour in plants.<\/p>\n The University Library invites you on a discovery tour through the University Archive at TU Braunschweig. A story about unusual archive holdings<\/a> that have their very own connection to the multifaceted and varied history of the university.<\/p>\n \u2026 this year are you, dear readers. A big thank you for your constructive feedback and the many good topic suggestions that enrich ‘Die Woche’. We wish you all happy holidays and a good start to the New Year. See you in the next ‘Week’ on 10 January 2025! Best wishes from your ‘Die Woche’ team in the Press and Communications Office.<\/p>\n\u25ba Requirements for the partial reutilisation of Langen Kamp 8 fulfilled<\/h3>\n
