The trial phase of the new parking management system<\/a> at TU Braunschweig begins in April. During this phase, parking will still be free of charge and available without registration. However, interested users can already register and help test the system.<\/p>\n The Institute for Sports and Physical Education and the \u201cLavie Reha\u201d rehabilitation centre are demonstrating how inclusion can succeed: students and people with mental health conditions are working together to develop inclusive concepts for movement, play and sport<\/a> and are bringing their own sports equipment to life, from concept to practice.<\/p>\n From 1 April, Prof. Lars Schnieder<\/a> will take over as Head of the Institute of Railway Engineering and Transport Safety. His research focuses on the railways of the future: digitalisation and automation are set to make planning, construction and operation more efficient, reliable and climate-friendly. A warm welcome!<\/p>\n Dr Ahmed El Menuawy<\/a> has been awarded the SALUPLANTA Young Researchers\u2019 Prize for his doctoral dissertation on the further development of St John\u2019s wort cultivation technology. St John\u2019s wort is a highly significant medicinal plant and is used, for example, to treat depression. Congratulations!<\/p>\n Budget planning, insurance and sustainable investing \u2013 through \u201cFinancial Literacy for All\u201d<\/a>, Julia Eckert from the Institute of Finance, together with industry partners, teaches fundamental financial skills. Following the huge response with over 400 registrations in the winter semester, the kick-off for round 2 took place on 25 March \u2013 attended by Finance Minister Gerald Heere, among others.<\/p>\n Our university is a hub for innovative ideas: at the invitation of the Stifterverband, students from across Germany will gather for a thinkathon<\/a> from 26 to 28 March. The aim of this nationwide participatory initiative is to actively shape STEM teaching. Supported by the Project House, new approaches to future-oriented teaching are thus emerging.<\/p>\n \u2026 was the message for students of law and economics in the latest CHE survey round<\/a>. Thanks to a donation to the Braunschweig University Association, there were two iPads to be won this time. The results will be incorporated into the ranking by the Centre for Higher Education Development. Congratulations to Jenny Neumann and Markus Pauli!<\/p>\n This is the name of a project<\/a> run by the Department of Work, Organisational and Social Psychology at the Institute of Psychology. The project is open to students seeking support in planning their studies. Registration<\/a> for the 2026 summer semester is already open. Please spread the word!<\/p>\n On 17 and 18 March, experts from across Germany discussed current developments and new priority programmes of the German Research Foundation (DFG) at the DFG Roundtable<\/a> held at our university. The aim: to provide fresh impetus for chemical and thermal process engineering.<\/p>\n A passion for research, innovative multimedia formats and strong communication: Fast Forward Science annually recognises outstanding video and audio content by young researchers on social media. The competition<\/a>, with a prize fund of 12,000 euros, is a joint project of Wissenschaft im Dialog and the Stifterverband.<\/p>\n Since 2020, the core research area has been successfully funding projects related to the \u201cFuture City\u201d through the SeedMoney programme<\/a>. New: In addition to collaborative projects, international partnerships and individual projects are now also possible, along with more flexible use of funds. There will be two calls in 2026 (until 17 May and from 14 September to 15 November).<\/p>\n \u2026 is Braunschweig\u2019s oldest known female researcher: Agnes Pockels! In 1882, working from her kitchen sink at home, she revolutionised research into surface tension. Yet the way she is portrayed is still often shaped by gender stereotypes. This is precisely the subject of the new episode<\/a> of the \u2018Distillations\u2019 podcast from the Science History Institute and the \u2018Lost Women of Science\u2019 initiative. Guests include Petra Mischnick, founder of the Agnes-Pockels-Laboratory<\/a>. Have a listen now!<\/p>\n\u25ba Workshop of Diversity<\/h3>\n
