Editor: Elisabeth Hahn<\/span><\/p>\n The<\/span> EU project THANATOS<\/span><\/a> is launching the pre-clinical and clinical development of therapeutic antibodies against smallpox viruses. With funding of 13.5 million euros, the aim is to develop a specific treatment for \u201cmonkeypox\u201d (Mpox) and human smallpox.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2026 researchers from our university, Leibniz University Hannover, the Technical University of Hamburg and Bauhaus Luftfahrt are developing scenarios as part of the TRANS-AIR project to<\/span> secure the energy supply for the German aviation sector<\/span><\/a>. The Institute for Automotive Economics and Industrial Production is coordinating the project.<\/span><\/p>\n As part of the <\/span>ELEVATE project<\/span><\/a>, TU Braunschweig is developing new processes for more powerful and sustainable battery cells. Dry coating and in-situ polymerisation are intended to reduce energy consumption, the carbon footprint and production costs \u2013 important steps towards electrified aviation.<\/span><\/p>\n At the <\/span>\u201cMeerZukunft\u201d parliamentary evening<\/span><\/a> organised by the German Alliance for Marine Research (DAM) on 6 October in Hanover, researchers from member institutions came together with representatives from politics, business and civil society. \u201cEnergy from the sea\u201d was the focus of the lecture given by Prof. Nils Goseberg from the Leichtwei\u00df Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources.<\/span><\/p>\n With the opening of the Fraunhofer ZESS at the Braunschweig Research Airport, TU Braunschweig and Fraunhofer are expanding their collaboration: covering some 3,300 square metres, it offers researchers state-of-the-art infrastructure for the development of<\/span> solid-state batteries and hydrogen technologies<\/span><\/a> \u2013 with the aim of bringing scientific results into industrial application more quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n With her series of workshops on \u201cSpeculative Cultures\u201d, <\/span>Aylin Dilek Walder<\/span><\/a> from the Institute of English and American Studies is bringing together researchers from various disciplines to discuss the potential of speculative fiction. In this interview, she explains why fantastical stories reveal a surprising amount about our present.<\/span><\/p>\n On 19 October at 9 am, TU Braunschweig will welcome its new <\/span>students at the Eintracht Stadium<\/span><\/a>. From 10.30 am, the programme continues on the central Campus: at the<\/span> information fair \u201cStudying is more than just \u2026\u201d<\/span><\/a>, over 60 stands will showcase all that studying in Braunschweig has to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n How do AI systems influence our actions, decision-making, knowledge and creativity \u2013 and how does our use of these systems shape their further development? No prior knowledge is required for the <\/span>English-language workshop<\/span><\/a> with the researcher from the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice; simply pop along to the Science and Art Lab on 22 October. Please register with the <\/span>Emerging Tech Lab<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n On 21 May 2027, our Campus will once again become a hub for numerous prospective students. Anyone wishing to<\/span> register with programme items<\/span><\/a> has until 30 November to do so. Questions can be clarified during the next<\/span> digital open consultation session<\/span><\/a> on 3 November.<\/span><\/p>\n Researchers have until 16 October to take part in the<\/span> anonymous survey<\/span><\/a> run by the<\/span> Digital Science Support Space Lower Saxony (DS\u00b3)<\/span><\/a> project. Based on the results, the project is developing support services for researchers at 14 higher education institutions and universities in Lower Saxony.<\/span><\/p>\n Whilst the \u201cNature\u201d calls focus on research topics in the life sciences, the \u201cBridging\u201d calls are designed to support various fields of study in the transition from the current Horizon Europe Framework Programme to the next one. Submission deadlines begin in January 2027. Those interested can find out more at an<\/span> information session<\/span><\/a> on 16 October.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u2026 is being presented by the Ecoversity Hub team to everyone who took part in the Ecoversity Expedition and shared their initiatives with the region in early October. Thank you very much!<\/span><\/p>\n Over the next eight months, the Staatstheater in Braunschweig will be regularly raising the curtain on science! After all, there\u2019s a great deal of it behind theatre productions. The new series of events, <\/span>\u201cWAS IST WAS\u201d<\/span><\/a>, organised by the Science and Art Lab and the Staatstheater, shows just how much. It kicks off on 13 October with \u201cSpecial Effects\u201d, exploring pyrotechnics and danger.
