Abstract: From memory devices in smartphones to new treatment methods in medicine – applications of nanotechnology are widespread. Using the most advanced fabrication techniques, nanostructures at the scale of 0.000000001 meters can be realized today. Especially magnetic nanomaterials exhibit fascinating effects which can, e.g., be used in more energy efficient data storage devices or sensors.

Topic: The change of microbial activity on intact and destroyed spruce forest sites

Speaker: Maja Settertobulte

Abstract: In the last five years, a large number of trees died and had to be cut down because of bark beetle infestation, resulting in huge areas of dead forests all over Germany. Mainly affected is the spruce, a tree species commonly used in forestry, but also very vulnerable to consequences of climate change like droughts or parasites. In this talk, the speaker will share their findings into the soil microbiome on spruce forest sites. The focus of this research is Teutoburg Forest in Lippe.

(The Call for Proposals is closed.)

Studienfonds Community is organizing its second colloquium in English Language. The goal of
this colloquium is to create an interdisciplinary space for a diversity of speakers who can
exchange information and knowledge of their scientific subjects in English. We are looking for
participants who want to share their learnings and expertise by giving short presentations (15
min presentation followed by Q&A). These presentations are supposed to lead to further
discussions and ideas. The colloquium is an opportunity to have conversations beyond one’s
own field. Therefore, we appreciate applications from diverse fields of research topics and a
diverse background of speakers.

For the first time, we are hosting the English Language Colloquium in person at Technische
Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe, Lemgo.

We are looking for alumni or scholarship holders that want to present their research projects
(this could include your bachelor thesis, master thesis or other project works). These
thesis/projects can also be a ‘work in progress’. The presentations shall be understandable for
the audience, regardless of which field the participants belong to. The entire colloquium will
be held in English.

If you are interested in giving a presentation, please send an e-mail with the presentation topic
and a brief description of your topic to Vishal Rangras (vishal.rangras@stud.th-owl.de) or
Gianluca Armeli (email address to be announced). The deadline for the submissions is Dec 2nd,
2022.

Further information concerning the event will be sent once all the applications are processed.

The event will be open to a max of 36 attendees.
