More safety for offshore maintenance personnel
Offshore wind turbines have become an integral part of energy generation in Germany. They play an important role in power generation, particularly in northern Germany, and require regular maintenance. Biological deposits (biofouling) on the ladders at the access jetty to the wind turbine, the so-called boat landing, pose a high risk for the maintenance crew when climbing over and up. Up to now, the ladders have only been cleaned after a maintenance visit. During an additional outing, the ladders are cleaned manually with a high-pressure lance – a considerable logistical and financial effort.
Turning volunteering upside down
Voluntary work is often described as the backbone of our society. However, for today’s youth, it can be challenging and not very appealing to find their place within existing structures of organisations and to work on matters that are close to their personal interests or believes. This is where MIINTER comes into play.
Domestic blood collection should relieve the burden of chronically ill
About 40 percent of people in Germany have one or more chronic diseases. Many require permanent specialist care and must regularly introduce themselves personally to the practice. Blood tests are often the only reason for the appointment. This is particularly problematic in rural areas, where clinics are often far from home and require a long journey.
Changing direction – Migrants from university to the workplace

Training Compass Chemistry: Designing Sustainable Transitions
The “Training Compass Chemistry: Designing Sustainable Transitions” is a project of the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Göttingen that aims to open up the university and increase permeability between university and vocational training. It offers students who are considering dropping out of university the opportunity to transition smoothly and without loss of time to vocational training, and encourages trainees to pursue further studies in order to exploit the full potential of all possible workers.
