Across institute boundaries: 1st HITEC Day at HI ERN

Nuremberg, September 4, 2024 - Over 50 doctoral students came together at the first "HITEC Day" in Nuremberg, the newest location of the HI ERN. The focus was on a look behind the scenes at HI ERN, impulses from research and networking with each other.

Having traveled all the way from Jülich, the guests were able to see the HI ERN's modern research infrastructure for themselves during the guided tours of the laboratories. Afterwards, Prof. Karsten Müller highlighted innovative approaches in green hydrogen research in his lecture. He is no stranger to the HI ERN: He headed the Efficient Hydrogen Release research group from February 2019 to September 2020. Today, he holds the Chair of Technical Thermodynamics at the University of Rostock.

Knifflige Aufgabe bei "Science and Fun": Wie präsentiert man seine Forschung anhand von Alltagsgegenständen?

There was no shortage of fun and networking for the participants either: at "Science and Fun", the young scientists presented their research in a witty, innovative and unconventional way using a box of everyday objects.

The doctoral students were able to take away important ideas for their own research work and network with each other. A continuation is planned for the coming year.
