Last Monday marked a significant milestone for the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH). With the inauguration of the UNU Hub "Engineering to Face Climate Change," the university became the first European institution to join the United Nations University. This event, attended by international and local partners, was a vibrant showcase of TUHH's cutting-edge research on climate change. Our Institute proudly presented live demonstrations of two innovative projects to the UN delegation and the public. The first, Backscatter Communication and Power Transfer through Metal Structures for Structural Health Monitoring, aims to improve the integrity and safety of vital infrastructures through continuous monitoring. The second project, MOLA: Modular Ocean Lander Architecture for Ocean Research, demonstrates our commitment to pioneering solutions for oceanographic exploration and environmental monitoring. We enjoyed the lively exchanges and the inspiring atmosphere during the event, which reflected the immense potential for impactful collaborations.

Our PhD student Preethi Aranala Gurumoorthi won the Jerry King's Poster Award on the 20th European Meeting on Supercritical Fluids organized by the International Society for the Advancements of Supercritical Fluids. Her poster was titled "Novel aerogels from alginic acids: Structural transitions in fabrication process". Congratulations!

Guest talk by Prof. Dr. Jérémie Sublime, ISEP (Paris) on June 12, 1-2 pm

We are very happy to be part of the world's first United Nations University Hub "Engineering to Face Climate Change" here at the Hamburg University of Technology. The partnership between TU Hamburg and UNU aims to develop sustainable technical solutions to tackle climate change. Through three research areas innovative strategies are being developed to better manage resources, inform the public, and train researchers worldwide. One of two clusters started within this cooperation, “Circular Technologies for Bio-based Materials”, led by Prof. Smirnova, will research innovative technologies for materials made from biomass, focusing on both the production of biomaterials and the circular economy. This work will be central to the corresponding Campus Lab “Circular Economy”. More information about the UNU Hub can be found here.

Start der internationalen Forschungskooperation zum Thema "Engineering to Face Climate Change"

We are very happy that we had the chance to be part of the inauguration of the United Nations University Hub at the Technische Universität Hamburg. It was a great honor to show Tshilidzi Marwala, the Rector of the United Nations (UN) University and UN Under-Secretary-General, and his delegation our showcase of a prismatic spouted bed and to explain how fluidized bed technology can support the university's mission "Engineering to face climate change". We are very much looking forward to continuing our work in this important research field. Back to Institute SPE - News

Nima received the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) pin from Prof. Tshilidzi Marwala, the Rector of United Nations University and the Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations during the inauguration of the United Nations University Hub on Engineering to Face Climate Change at TUHH.  Our team at the Institute of Geo-Hydroinformatics is committed to supporting the SDGs and contributing to their various facets, particularly SDGs 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 10, 13, 15, and 17.
