Project of the month (archive)

Smart textiles for all weather conditions : Date:

Choosing the right clothing is particularly difficult when the weather can’t make up its mind. As part of the RespothermTex project at Albstadt-Sigmaringen University, scientists are developing intelligent textiles that automatically adapt to the prevailing weather conditions.

Fighting cancer with viruses : Date:

In the fight against cancer, science is increasingly focusing on the impact of viruses. A research group at Mittelhessen University of Applied Sciences is working on producing these viruses in sufficient quantity and quality.

Standing up to cyberattacks : Date:

More and more companies are being targeted by hackers. Deggendorf Institute of Technology and Augsburg University of Applied Sciences are now developing novel protective mechanisms against cyberattacks – with funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

From concrete slab tower blocks to multigenerational houses : Date:

Multigenerational housing is currently being built in many cities and communities. At the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, a research team is investigating how new forms of housing for young and old can be successfully implemented – with funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

Industry 4.0: assembly in the factory of the future : Date:

With BMBF funding, researchers at Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences and Arts (OWL) in Lemgo are developing intelligent assembly systems. This enables companies to manufacture products flexibly, cost-effectively and in a resource-saving manner.

Anticipating emergencies with assistance systems : Date:

With the openIntelliCare project at Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding the development of an innovative assistance system for older people that can anticipate medical emergencies.

Electric cars keep rolling : Date:

In order to increase the efficiency and range of electric cars, researchers at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences are developing an intelligent energy and route management system as part of the PRE-E project – with funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

Greater security through improved facial recognition : Date:

With the FeGeb project of Bonn-Rhine-Sieg University of Applied Sciences, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding the development of a new type of facial-recognition system that can reliably recognise artificial and falsified biometric features.
