Editor: Elisabeth Hahn<\/span><\/p>\n The TU Braunschweig is expanding its research presence, TU Braunschweig Singapore Ltd. \u2013 established in 2023 \u2013 with funding from the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture. Within two years, a<\/span> pilot model<\/span><\/a> is to be developed that will open up access to South-East Asian networks for other universities in Lower Saxony.<\/span><\/p>\n How can aviation emissions be reliably predicted and reduced? The Institute of Aircraft Propulsion and Flow Machinery and the Institute of Internal Combustion Engines are working on this using a practical simulation platform. The<\/span> \u201cVlame\u201d project<\/span><\/a> is receiving 1.5 million euros for this from the VIP+ programme of the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space.<\/span><\/p>\n Ebrahim TaiediNejad<\/span><\/a> and his team took second place in the Graduate Award in Applied Nanoengineering at the 3M-NANO conference in China. They were recognised for their work on the scalable production of uniform lipid nanoparticles for clinical use. Congratulations!<\/span><\/p>\n A course on<\/span> Mental Health First Aid<\/span><\/a> teaches students how to respond appropriately to mental health crises and support those affected. With this initiative, Prof. Julian Hegemann is setting an important example for greater mental health awareness and mutual support amongst pharmacy students.<\/span><\/p>\n Dr Matthias Beyer from the Institute of Geoecology at the TU Braunschweig and Prof. J\u00fcrgen Bauhus from the University of Freiburg explain what will help urban trees now and why a \u2018water alliance\u2019 is needed in an<\/span> article by Deutsche Welle<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In the<\/span> latest episode<\/span><\/a> of the history podcast, Bettina Wahrig, a retired professor of the history of Pharmacy and science, joins other guests to discuss \u201cFrauengold\u201d, a tonic and circulatory remedy banned in 1981.<\/span><\/p>\n From 21 to 23 August, our university will once again be represented at GAIN in San Francisco. Dr Stephan Steinke attended the Talent Fair 2024. At the time, he was still a postdoctoral researcher in the USA; today, he conducts research at the Institute of Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Bioinformatics. He explains how this came about in an<\/span> interview<\/span><\/a> in TU Magazine.<\/span><\/p>\n Who uses which rooms at our university \u2013 and how? In future, the space management system aims to allocate the valuable resource of space in a way that is more tailored to needs, more efficient and more sustainable. Anyone interested can find out exactly how this works and what processes are involved<\/span> here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n The Colour & Soul Festival brought a splash of colour to Braunschweig a few weeks ago. With the support of the<\/span> Sandkasten platform<\/span><\/a>, a mural was also created on our Campus: the artwork <\/span>\u201cUniverse 25\u201d <\/span><\/a>\u00a0by artist TASEK pays homage to the 1968 experiment of the same name by behavioural scientist John B. Calhoun. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled the next time you visit the canteen!<\/span><\/p>\n Want to do some sport during working hours? You can do just that this winter semester with the<\/span> courses offered by the Workplace Health Promotion (BGF)<\/span><\/a>. Registrations open on 31 August at 10.00 via the<\/span> Continuing Education Programme<\/span><\/a> run by Central Staff Development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Lecture halls, laboratories and more can be experienced digitally in freely navigable 2D spaces: on 27 August, Dr Stefan B\u00f6hme from the Media Lab will present practical scenarios using the open-source tool \u201cWorkAdventure\u201d.<\/span> Register here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Together with TU researchers and artists from the Kunstverein Jahnstra\u00dfe, anyone interested can create images on the theme of \u201cLight\u201d on 25 August. On 27 August, students Jan Haevescher (TU Braunschweig) and Paula Knust Rosales (HBK Braunschweig) will provide insights into their current projects and working methods in architecture and art. Find out<\/span> more<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Researchers at German institutions are invited to explain, in 9,000 to 11,000 characters, how their research will change the world. The five best submissions will be published in the F.A.Z. supplement \u201cNatur und Wissenschaft\u201d. Submissions are open until <\/span>31 October<\/span><\/a>. Texts written by AI will be excluded from the competition.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/b>A<\/span> new brochure<\/span><\/a> from the European network of \u201cNational Contact Points for Health\u201d provides information on calls for tenders (CFTs) with deadlines between September and December. Researchers from all faculties are invited to explore suitable funding opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n When do AI language models actually help us in our day-to-day university life? And when do they tend to hold us back?<\/span> Dr Christiaan Maasdorp<\/span><\/a> is exploring these questions during his Emerging Tech Fellowship at the Institute for Information Systems and the Institute for Business Information Systems. Anyone interested should not miss his<\/span> English-language talk<\/span><\/a> on 27 August \u2013 <\/span>registration<\/span><\/a> is open until 23 August.<\/span><\/p>\n\u25ba Singapore to become a gateway to South-East Asia for Lower Saxony\u2019s scientific community<\/b><\/h3>\n
