Opening of the Science Year 2022/23

Putting the heat supply to the test?

Begin 05. October 2022 - 17:30 Uhr
End 05. October 2022 - 20:00 Uhr

A warm home and a well-tempered workplace are basic needs in our society. The consequences of the war in Ukraine have cast doubt on this matter of course: both the availability and affordability of a warm indoor environment are no longer certain for the coming winter.

What can research do to remedy this situation? Can it even be part of the solution (in the short, foreseeable future)?

Processes and ideas for (alternative) heat supply will be presented at the event - we are expecting experts from our university as well as partners from industry and society. You will also have the opportunity to contribute your ideas and questions, either in an open discussion round based on the "fishbowl principle" or in the concluding informal get-together. We will provide you with further information during this round with a small snack and a poster presentation in the foyer.
