TU Braunschweig: Discover the dragonfly world with a new app!

Braunschweig, Deutschland - On May 16, 2025, the Technical University of Braunschweig raised the flag of the UN sustainability goals. This is not only a symbolic act, but also underlines the commitment of the University of Sustainable Development. Prof. Manfred Krafczyk, who explained the importance of this step, emphasized the long -term strategy that the university is pursuing in this area. The act took place in a framework in which Professors of the TU met in the architectural pavilion for their annual exchange that has existed since 2021

In the context of sustainable development, the project "With light luggage" started on May 6th. Over 50 employees have come together to simplify internal processes. Alexander von Humboldt Professor Daniel Prades, which has only been in office since 2024, has also been new to the university, who is portrayed in the "Innovators & Explorers" series. This initiative brings a breath of fresh air and new ideas in the university structures.

digital innovation and nature conservation

An outstanding example of innovative technology is the new, free app "ID logics dragonfly". This was developed by an interdisciplinary team at the TU Braunschweig and enables the determination of all 81 dragonfly species found in Germany. Elderly, students and extra -curricular learning places benefit from this resource, which offers high -resolution photos and explanatory videos on dragonfly species and their life cycles. Libelles are important indicators of the health of waters that are at risk through habitat loss, water pollution and climate change. Regional today emphasizes that the app also offers an error-tolerant determination logic and can also be used offline.

The digital aids not only promote nature conservation, but also expand knowledge of biodiversity. The app is particularly useful for biology lessons and ecological topics, and its distribution cards come from the Society of German -speaking Odonatologists.

events and future projects

In the current week, further important events will be held on campus. A salon of science will take place on June 18, in which six scientists from the TU will exchange ideas with visitors. A special highlight is the "Lifelines" conference, which discusses the importance of infrastructures beyond technical care on May 23 and 24.

In addition, the Science and Art Lab will present the Quantum Piano project on May 20, while on May 28 the TU Ethics Commission invites you to the opening event "Ethics research responsibility". The Tumorow Awards are also awarded to people who have been particularly committed to sustainability.
