Site Visit at Airbus Bremen
Field trip
Mi 13.8. 16.00-19.00 Uhr
Site visit Airbus and Airbus Defence and Space in Bremen
Important: Taking pictures and filming is absolutely forbidden! Your ID card or passport will be necessary to enter the site!
IF-IS EXK 02
Guided Tour through BIBA - Bremer Institut für Produktion und Logistik
Field Trip
Mi 13.8. 14.00-15.30 Uhr
The BIBA - Bremer Institut für Produktion und Logistik GmbH is an independent research institute with a strong connection to University of Bremen. Many researchers are teaching at the University of Bremen and we have several common activities like the LogDynamicLab. The main research field is production and logistics. Most of our research activities deal with how to use ICT for improving the production planning, operation and control, as well as the corresponding logistic processes in order to support distributed production. BIBA is heavily involved in applied research but also carrying out fundamental research. During the visit in BIBA we will show you several of the applications we are working on, like the Intelligent Container, intelligent solutions for stock-in and stock-out in the automotive industry, as well as other applications. We will also visit our two labs: in the LogDynamicsLab we will look at how different technologies like RFID; sensors and actuators etc. can be used in logistics operation, and secondly we will visit our GamingLab in which we offer several serious games aiming at improving the knowledge and skills both on ICT for logistics and production operations, as well as for improving decision making skills in supply chains. You will have the possibility to try some of the games.
IF-IS EXK 03
Ceramics Bremen: With Powder and Nanosols to High-Tech Ceramics
Field Trip
Dr. Michaela Wilhelm
Uni Bremen
Mi 13.8. 15.45-17.00 Uhr
Target Group: open
Prerequisites: interest in material science
This field trip with introduction offers an insight in the production, characterization and functional testing of innovative ceramic development at the institute of Advanced Ceramics at Bremen University. These high-performance materials are used in bio and medical technology, selective selective separation processes, catalysts and energy technology. More information on www.ceramics.uni-bremen.de
IF-IS EXK 04
Working Group Theoretical Computer Science
Field Trip
Marcus Ermler
Uni Bremen
Mi 27.8. 14.45-16.00 Uhr
The working group "Theoretical Computer Science" headed by Prof. Dr Hans-Jörg Kreowski consists of three women and three men. Our work deals with formal methods in modelling and we apply them to picture generation, swarm intelligence, logistics, model transformation, and computer-aided verification. In the context of the excursion, we would like to present our working group as well as our research and teaching.
IF-IS EXK 05
The research group Digital Media in Education (dimeb)
Field Trip
Sabrina Wilske
Uni Bremen
Mi 27.8. 16.15-17.30 Uhr
Designing hardware and software for educational purposes and implementing them in meaningful ways in educational contexts requires many competencies. The research group Digital Media in Education consists of academics from different disciplines who teach and conduct research. The teaching program is aimed at students of computer science, digital media and educational studies, while in the research we combine approaches from engineering, computer science, cultural studies, social science and the humanities. We are also involved in establishing a fabrication laboratory (Fablab) in Bremen which provides open access to digital fabrication technologies like 3D printer and laser cutter.
IF-IS EXK 06
The Bremen Drop Tower - Space Technology on Earth
Field Trip
Do 14.08. 15.45-17.30 Uhr
The Bremen Drop Tower is a ground-based laboratory for short-term microgravity experiments. It is a unique facility in Europe that attracts scientists from all over the world. In comparison to orbital systems it represents an economic alternative with permanent access. Since its inauguration in September 1990 the concrete shaft of a height of 146 m has become the landmark on the Bremen University campus. The Drop Tower serves as an important supplement to either existing or planned orbital or suborbital platforms for microgravity research. About 400 drop experiments each year have successfully been carried out since. The facility delivers 4.74 s of near weightlessness up to three times a day.
In December 2004 Bremen celebrated the first shot of the catapult system. This allows to perform experiments under weightlessness for 9.3 s by conducting a vertical parabolic flight. This construction has been developed at ZARM and offers world-wide unique research conditions. A visit of the top of the drop tower is not possible on this tour!
