Networked Rainland

ETN e.V., together with IZNE and the Biological Station Rhein-Sieg-Kreis, is carrying out a project entitled "Vernetztes Rainland". Within the framework of this project, suitable areas in municipal ownership are to be made available for insect protection in cooperation with representatives of agriculture, the municipalities and other relevant stakeholders, and suitable subsidies for the maintenance of the Raine are to be offered to the users if required.

ROForm - Resource Optimized Forming

In modern society, plastic packaging fulfills important functions for consumers and industry and is indispensable in everyday life: easy and inexpensive to produce in large quantities, it significantly simplifies handling during transport and storage and extends the shelf life of food up to three times.

Development of new phosphate/silicate/agarose-based hybrids as bone graft substitutes with release function for bisphosphonate drugs

What cannot be cured must be learned to endure. Researchers, however, are trying to change this fact and are looking for new treatments for a variety of different diseases. One example is large, so-called "critical size" bone injuries that cannot heal during a person's lifetime without extensive surgery. One approach to changing this is to use mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which have shown great potential for treating such conditions. They can differentiate into bone cells and additionally release therapeutic factors. However, in certain circumstances, they are limited in quantity and cannot maintain their capabilities under prolonged laboratory culture. Recently, the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), for which the Nobel Prize was awarded in 2012, offered a new approach. These cells can be generated on-demand in the laboratory to become mesenchymal stem cells (iMSCs), providing a potential alternative technique. iMSCs have similarities to MSCs, but little is yet known about them. In her PhD project, Sarah Shoushrah wants to find out how effective iMSCs are compared to MSCs for future applications in bone repair.

GTN | Games Technology Network

Four universities in North Rhine-Westphalia have joined forces to establish the "Games Technology Network" (GTN). The Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences (H-BRS) has taken on the coordination. Its partners are RWTH Aachen University, Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences and Cologne University of Technology. The project is initially scheduled to run for two years and is supported by the NRW Future Fund. The declared aim of the new alliance is to build up a network of research institutions and industrial companies that will promote gaming technology and thus benefit NRW as a business location.

WireLife - Lifetime of new aluminum wires of power electronics

Wire or ribbon connections made of aluminum are usually used to transmit electrical power in control units and power electronics modules. Since the connection points of the wires and ribbons are usually located on substrates made of different materials and the components are frequently exposed to external temperature differences, cracks can form in the material during operation and lead to complete failure of the component, which cannot be remedied by simple design modifications.

Big Bang to Big Data (B3D)

Big Bang to Big Data (B3D) is an interdisciplinary research, technology, and education alliance for data-intensive radio astronomy. The "cluster" links the scientific potentials of radio astronomy and data science. Funded under the Profiling 2020 funding program, the cluster aims to pool distributed expertise and resources and establish the data science expertise that radio astronomy research still lacks.

One Health - A holistic approach to metropolitan regions Part 2

Using the One Health approach, the research college, led by ZEF at the University of Bonn, is looking at urban food systems: on the one hand, at the "supply of healthy food from sustainable production" and, on the other hand, at the "spread and transmission of antibiotic-resistant pathogens" through food chains. Furthermore, health-related aspects of urban transformation are highlighted, which fall into the areas of "health and well-being" and "sustainable cities".

NeLiPro – Next Level Lightweight Production

The aim of the project is the development of high-quality, lightweight structural components for the mobility sector, and the respective manufacturing technologies. To achieve this goal, a modular system for hybrid fiber composite lightweight components in the commercial vehicle sector is further developed and transferred to the rail vehicle sector. The lightweight components allow a significant weight reduction compared to the reference structures. Additionally, new manufacturing technologies are employed that require significantly lower energy input. As a result, a considerable amount of CO2 is saved both during production and throughout the service life phase.

DINA - Diversity of Insects in Nature protected Areas

The research project "Diversity of Insects in Nature protected Areas (DINA)" is the first of its kind in Germany and aims to address research deficits on the effects of agricultural use in the vicinity of nature conservation areas in the field of applied biodiversity research. Thus, the impact of agricultural use on biodiversity is to be assessed, with insects being the focus of the investigation.
