The Braunschweig Centre for Systems Biology (BRICS) is celebrating its anniversary<\/a>. For ten years, researchers from the TU Braunschweig, the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt and the Leibniz Institute German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH have been conducting joint research there into complex biological processes.<\/p>\n Prof. Reiner Hildebrandt-Stramann was named an honorary citizen<\/a> in recognition of his services to the academic development of the local federal university and to school sport in the South American country. On the day of the award ceremony, he was invited to sign the town\u2019s Golden Book.<\/p>\n At the conference on 6 November, experts will discuss how healthcare buildings can meet the complex demands of medicine, care and people\u2019s needs. Prof. Wolfgang Sunder from the Institute for Structural Design, Industrial and Healthcare Construction talks about current challenges in an interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n How do living cells organise themselves, and what does this have to do with spaghetti and vinaigrette? Prof. Andriy Goychuk from the Institute of Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Bioinformatics will provide the answer on 4 November in his inaugural lecture<\/a> on the topic: \u2018Physics of the cell nucleus: Pasta and Vinaigrette?\u2019.<\/p>\n \u2026is the topic of the next lecture<\/a> in the \u201cResearch in Dialogue\u201d series organised by the \u201cGeDiMINT\u201d project.

Guests include the Polish performer, DJ and cultural producer FRZNTE, skydiver Klaus Gr\u00fcbl and Tobias Stelzer, a research assistant at the Institute for Space Systems.<\/p>\n A Master\u2019s thesis at the Institute of Educational Psychology is investigating how teaching staff perceive dealing with the different prerequisites, life situations and backgrounds of students and staff, and how this relates to their sense of belonging to TU Braunschweig. The anonymous survey<\/a> runs until 13 December.<\/p>\n Anyone planning to produce a podcast at TU Braunschweig can find support from the new podcast service<\/a>. This service, provided by the Transfer Service, offers advice on concept development and support with audio engineering tasks and publication on podcast platforms.<\/p>\n The Green Office\u2019s Sustainability Tool<\/a> invites all TU members to submit ideas, suggestions and issues relating to environmental, social and organisational topics.<\/p>\n The Lower Saxony Digital Science Support Space project offers various training sessions<\/a> on high-performance computing, research software engineering and AI. Here, those interested can pursue specialisation in the area of research digitalisation. Topics include, for example, learning a programming language with the help of generative AI or the citability of research code.<\/p>\n The Children\u2019s University<\/a> starts again on 7 November and, over the course of three lectures, will answer burning questions on the topic of climate change for children aged eight to twelve. Registrations<\/a> are open now!<\/p>\n The Foundation is funding original and scalable approaches to the recovery and recycling of critical metals. Anyone who has completed their doctorate is eligible to apply. The deadline<\/a> is 15 February 2027. An open online consultation session for interested parties will take place on 14 January 2027.<\/p>\n In 2027, ideas from emerging technologies are set to flow into higher education once again: the Emerging Tech Fellowship<\/a>, with a prize fund of 20,000 euros, is once again inviting up to four technology-savvy experts to Lower Saxony. Applications can be submitted to the Emerging Tech Lab<\/a> until 4 December.<\/p>\n \u2026 are the students Nik D\u00f6meland and Nils Frank. Their practical project won first place in the student competition \u2018Best Impact Project 2026\u2019<\/a>. The project focused on the design and construction of a hand pump demonstrator for educational purposes in Uganda.
