"Offshore wind energy – a possible cornerstone of our future energy system?’

On the subject:
The energy transition presents Germany and Europe with great challenges. Offshore wind energy is expected to make a significant contribution to realizing the energy transition, but is this realistic? How expensive will our energy become if we rely on offshore wind energy, and what levers do we have to reduce costs? The lecture provides an overview of the status quo and current research priorities in offshore wind energy.

‘Where are innovative ways of using paper?’

About the topic:

Paper has been recognised for thousands of years for its unique property profile: bendable and foldable, high mechanical stability and a pore structure that enables pump-free transport of liquids. 

ts production and recycling can today be considered technologically optimised. Its image is environmentally friendly and supports the public's growing desire for sustainable and a more circular approach to materials.

Beyond its classic applications as printing, packaging and hygiene paper, it has also been the focus of attention in very demanding areas for some years now, e.g. in medical rapid tests, lightweight water-repellent materials and, more recently, in paper-based soft robotics. The lecture will discuss examples of such fields of application.
