Theatre performance with opening remarks by the University President Prof. Dr Ralph Bruder

To mark the 50th anniversary of the University of Oldenburg, the Oldenburg University Theatre is presenting a special theatre project. In this historical drama, the life and work of Ossietzky is shown from the perspective of his daughter Rosalinde. Alternating between biographical scenes and moments in which a modern Rosalinde speaks directly to the audience, she attempts one thing in particular: to show that she was more than just a daughter - a pacifist, social worker, dancer, but above all an emancipated woman.

Research insights from the Department of Foundations and Applications of Systems of Cyber-Physical Systems

You can experience how much fun research can be in a small experiment from the Department of Computing Science. In a short computer game, interested parties are asked to steer a figure so that it collects as many coins as possible. They are given tips on the direction of the character. If the players react quickly enough, they can collect even more coins. The anonymous data is used in the scientists' research.

Lecture by Sandra Vieth, owner of onlinemarketingliebe.com and lecturer at C3L - Centre for Lifelong Learning

In times of information overload, it is more important than ever to attract attention and stand out from the crowd. One effective method of achieving this is storytelling. In this short presentation, Sandra Vieth gives an impulse on how to "tell stories" and thus be convincing. How can topics be developed in such a way that they are interesting? How can a strong and emotional connection to the target group or dialogue partners be established?

Wednesday, 29 May, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

How do these media references age?

Lecture by Andrea Diana Klausen, Ann-Kathrin Knak and Jella Voelter (all University of Oldenburg)

Recovery after a Covid-19 infection? Some people are still severely restricted in their everyday lives months after the infection. For example, they suffer from fatigue, impaired attention or memory (cognition). What options are there to provide additional support for those affected? What contribution can research and special procedures make? We look at the COVISION project and the case management procedure to show the benefits of research for practice.

Workshop on the subject of "Object biographies"

Clothing and textile objects constantly surround us in our everyday lives. Yet we rarely take the time to think about the stories behind these things. In the university's Textile Everyday Culture Collection, it is precisely these "object biographies", i.e. the life stories of the objects, that take centre stage. During the workshop, we will work together to try out different creative methods relating to objects and their (possible) life stories.

Saturday, 25 May, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

An offer of the contact study programme

Lecture by Klaas von der Heide, IT auditor

Everyone has been talking about AI since ChatGPT at the latest. The ease of use of the well-known chatbot makes it easier than ever to use AI for emails, homework or research. But we shouldn't simply rely on the results. Even AI is not free from bias and is even capable of lying. The lecture will deal with challenges like these. The speaker will also take a look at how we can use AI responsibly in organisations.

Wednesday, 22 May, 10.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m.

Exhibition on Carl von Ossietzky

The University of Oldenburg's namesake, Nobel Peace Prize winner Carl von Ossietzky, has been interpreted and given meaning in many different ways over the years. Our exhibition explores the question of who the namesake actually was. The various "images" of and about Carl von Ossietzky are shown, which were ultimately also responsible for the protracted naming dispute.

Thursday, 16 May, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Exhibition of the Botanical Garden

The University Botanical Garden not only has living plants in its display areas, but also has an extensive collection of seeds and fruits. Parts of these can be viewed in the pop-up store and examined under microscopes. For example, the fruit of a Seychelles palm, which is four times the size of an otherwise similar coconut. Or burrs that adhere so well that they are used as mouse traps. You can also see oat fruits that jump like grasshoppers and pine cones that have already killed people. If you like, you can plant your own kale and take it home with you.

Exhibition on historical research equipment from the field of physics

Experiments and measuring instruments from the history of physics tell their very own stories: of scientific searching, failure and discovery; of the competition between ideas and the people who vehemently defended these ideas; of the co-operation between scientists and instrument makers, which is often neglected in tradition. In the exhibition, replicas of key historical instruments are presented and explained. Science historians Dr Falk Rieß and Wolfgang Engels (both of whom will be on site) as well as numerous students and the university's workshops were involved in the creation of the devices between 1985 and 2010.

Saturday, 4 May, 12:00 to 18:00
