Editor: Elisabeth Hahn<\/span><\/p>\n Web-based applications worldwide were affected by a security vulnerability in the PHP programming language. TU Braunschweig had therefore taken precautionary measures: the website and other affected services were inaccessible from outside the network on 21 October between 2 pm and 7 pm. The services could still be accessed via a VPN connection. The security vulnerability has now been fixed. Almost all services are once again accessible as normal.<\/span><\/p>\n Researchers from the Institute of Road Engineering at TU Braunschweig, in collaboration with researchers from TU Vienna and the University of Applied Sciences of Eastern Switzerland, have developed a<\/span> bioasphalt<\/span><\/a>. In collaboration with the City of Braunschweig, they are now testing on a trial stretch of road whether this more sustainable building material delivers under real-world conditions what it promised in the laboratory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A research team headed by TU Braunschweig is investigating how the<\/span> interaction between dormant herpes viruses and inflammatory processes<\/span><\/a> could contribute to degenerative diseases. The findings could open up new avenues for prevention and treatment. The project is funded by the VW Foundation with around two million euros.<\/span><\/p>\n From<\/span> 9 to 13 November<\/span><\/a>, the TU9 universities are inviting students to over 30 digital mini-workshops and lectures. The focus is on digital and transformative skills, as well as exchange across university boundaries. Participation is free of charge and no registration is required. Spread the word!<\/span><\/p>\n Students have catalogued<\/span> collection items<\/span><\/a> from three university collections. Selected pieces, including a camera from the 1960s, are on display at the University Library until 25 October.<\/span><\/p>\n In this<\/span> interview<\/span><\/a>, the GeDiMINT team explains how diverse perspectives enrich research. The<\/span> Transforming Cities<\/span><\/a> conference on 27 and 28 October will showcase concrete examples from the circular economy, urban development and mobility.<\/span><\/p>\n Professors of the Faculty of Humanities and Education will give their inaugural lectures on <\/span>28 October<\/span><\/a>: Prof. Katharina Kellermann<\/span> about \u201cWas macht Sprache bildungssprachlich?

Englischdidaktik f\u00fcr eine postdigitale Gesellschaft\u201c.<\/span><\/p>\n At the Institute of Steel Structures, Nils Neppe, a deaf precision engineer, provides training in sign language. In doing so, Neppe is the mentor for young people with hearing impairments that he himself lacked during his own education.<\/span> In an interview<\/span><\/a>, he and his trainees, Osama Al Rifai and Niklas Pollehn, talk about their experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n With the<\/span> new card<\/span><\/a> from the Research Services, visitors conducting research at our university for longer than one month can access all services directly. Anyone who is already at the TU and has at least one month left on their stay can also<\/span> apply for<\/span><\/a> the TU Guest Card.<\/span><\/p>\n For the third time, students have had the opportunity to nominate outstanding courses from the last two semesters. The<\/span> winners will be announced<\/span><\/a> on 3 November. Do come along!<\/span><\/p>\n The Central Staff Development team invites you to the next<\/span> digital lunch event<\/span><\/a>.

No registration is required.<\/span><\/p>\n Attention all curious administrative staff: on 17 November, the focus will be on how we can make our work fulfilling and successful. <\/span>Register<\/span><\/a> with the event by 30 October!<\/span><\/p>\n Until the end of November, the \u201cFaszination Wissenschaft\u201d exhibition at halle267 will be showing portrait photographs of researchers, taken by the photographer Herlinde Koelbl. As part of the<\/span> supporting programme<\/span><\/a>, the Science & Art Lab will be offering an insight into its work on 29 October.<\/span><\/p>\n We are seeking communication ideas from all fields of study that bring research to life and actively engage the public in dialogue. Teams can win 10,000 euros to implement the best ideas.<\/span> Applications<\/span><\/a> must be submitted by 25 November.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/b>What psychological factors influence how visible researchers are in their profession? The PSY:SICHT research project at Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences and M\u00fcnster University of Applied Sciences aims to find this out and invites researchers \/ scientists to take part in a<\/span> survey<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The tension between academic freedom and legal requirements is the topic of the<\/span> discussion panel<\/span><\/a> on 26 October in the Historic Main Building. The new brochure on ethical research will also be presented. Those unable to attend in person can watch the live stream. Please register with <\/span>Carolina Esser<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Where does the<\/span> CO_Living Campus<\/span><\/a> project stand as the winter semester begins? On 27 October from 10.00 am, the project team is once again inviting people to a discussion. The meeting point is the foyer of Faculty 6.<\/span><\/p>\n The Braunschweig Police Department wishes to play a greater role as a practical partner in interdisciplinary research projects. At the<\/span> exchange event<\/span><\/a> on 4 November, researchers and the police can present ideas and develop joint approaches. Please send registrations and project ideas to <\/span>Anna Lux<\/span><\/a> by 27 October.<\/span><\/p>\n A<\/span> joint call for proposals<\/span><\/a> by the international innovation network Eureka and the Japanese funding agency NEDO facilitates bilateral and multilateral research and development projects with Japan and 14 other Eureka countries. For German institutions, the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space provides funding for market-oriented projects in various subject areas. Applications may be submitted until 20 January 2027.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2026 are breathing new life into our Campus as the winter semester gets underway:<\/span> our freshers<\/span><\/a>!
