The new issue of the research magazine EINBLICKE has been published. "We need to rethink the university" is the cover story.
Four top-class academics met to exchange views on the occasion of the university's 40th birthday: chemist and acting university president Prof Dr Katharina Al-Shamery, literary scholar Prof Dr Sabine Doering, hearing researcher Prof Dr Dr Birger Kollmeier and growth critic Prof Dr Niko Paech. What is important in research? What role does personal development play? How do you create an education that inspires students? The panellists found their own personal answers to these questions.
Prof Dr Christoph Lienau has established the internationally sought-after research area "Ultrafast Nano-Optics" at the university. Together with doctoral candidates, he is researching the smallest of all conceivable worlds. The portrait in the EINBLICKE issue describes what drives the physicist.
In the case of Oldenburg computer scientist Prof Dr Susanne Boll, this drive is a glaring deficiency. Hundreds of health apps are now on the market. "And there are thousands of dissatisfied people who realise that the apps haven't helped them at all." The portrait in the EINBLICKE issue describes how Susanne Boll wants to do things differently. Together with her team, she develops mobile assistance devices that people really want - because they fit into everyday life, because they help and because they look good.
Also in this newly designed issue: an infographic about the new deep-sea research vessel "Sonne", insights into the work of energy and environmental economist Prof Dr Christoph Böhringer, Habermas biographer Prof Dr Stefan Müller-Doohm and the newly appointed Professor of Epidemiology and Biometry at the School of Medicine, Prof Dr Antje Timmer.
