News : Events, encounters, inspiration: a look back at a month full of GWT highlights

An eventful month lies behind us - with exciting events, inspiring encounters and promising impulses for research, transfer and networking. GWT looks back on the highlights of May

5th Inter­cul­tu­ral Job Fair Dresden
GWT looks back with great plea­sure on its par­ti­ci­pa­tion in the 5th Inter­cul­tu­ral Job Fair Dres­den at the World Trade Cen­ter. The fair offe­red many oppor­tu­ni­ties for exch­ange bet­ween com­pa­nies and inter­na­tio­nal talents. Many guests took the oppor­tu­nity to find out about career pro­s­pects, make cont­acts and learn about spe­ci­fic career opportunities.
The broad spec­trum of career paths was pre­sen­ted at the GWT stand. The response was con­sis­t­ently posi­tive – cha­rac­te­ri­zed by open­ness, curio­sity and genuine inte­rest in shared future prospects.
Many thanks to the orga­niza­tion team for the suc­cessful event and to all par­ti­ci­pants for the valuable dis­cus­sions and impulses.
W4 – How sci­ence beco­mes busi­ness: Robotics
On May 15, the Fraun­ho­fer Insti­tute for Inte­gra­ted Cir­cuits IIS ope­ned its doors for an exci­ting jour­ney into the world of arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence and robo­tics as part of the event series W⁴- Wie Wis­sen­schaft Wirt­schaft wird.
The focus: adap­tive robo­tics, which uses intel­li­gent sen­sor tech­no­logy and AI to bring more »fin­ger­tip sen­si­ti­vity« to auto­ma­ted pro­ces­ses – a key tech­no­logy for vari­ant-rich small series and pre­cise sin­gle-part pro­duc­tion. In addi­tion to sci­en­ti­fi­cally sound key­note spee­ches, the pro­gram also offe­red prac­ti­cal insights into ongo­ing rese­arch pro­jects and an exclu­sive lab tour with live demons­tra­ti­ons of adap­tive robo­tics in use.
A big thank you goes to all par­ti­ci­pants and the Fraun­ho­fer team for the suc­cessful event and the valuable pro­fes­sio­nal input. The approa­ches and fin­dings pre­sen­ted pro­vide important sug­ges­ti­ons for the future use of AI-sup­ported auto­ma­tion solu­ti­ons – espe­ci­ally in areas where con­ven­tio­nal sys­tems reach their limits.
28th sym­po­sium »Uti­liza­tion of Rene­wa­ble Resour­ces: Bio­mass – Heat – Power« in Zittau
Two days full of exci­ting insights, inten­sive dis­cus­sions and for­ward-loo­king ideas lie behind us: The 28th sym­po­sium »Uti­liza­tion of Rene­wa­ble Resour­ces: Bio­mass – Heat – Power« in Zit­tau on 22. and 23 May brought tog­e­ther experts from sci­ence, prac­tice and muni­ci­pal energy plan­ning to work tog­e­ther on the solu­ti­ons of tomorrow.
The focus was on topics such as the ther­mo­che­mi­cal gasi­fi­ca­tion of solid bio­mass, inno­va­tive waste recy­cling and new con­cepts for muni­ci­pal hea­ting net­works. It became clear: The ener­ge­tic use of bio­mass is not a niche topic – it is a decisive buil­ding block for a sus­tainable energy future.
A big thank you to all par­ti­ci­pants, spea­k­ers and con­tri­bu­tors for the valuable exch­ange. We are alre­ady loo­king for­ward to see­ing you again at the 29th sym­po­sium next year.
