Accelerating climate change and rising sea levels are exposing coastal regions to unprecedented threats. Traditional methods of coastal defence need to evolve to meet the challenges of the 21st century. This is where the dune-dike solution comes in: a hybrid, nature-based approach that combines natural dunes with artificial dikes to provide a resilient, adaptable and sustainable coastal defence.
Floods like the one in the river Ahr valley, Germany, and storm surges during extreme weather events are increasing due to climate change. The risk of residential houses being destroyed under the pressure of the water is ever-present. Professor Nils Goseberg from TU Braunschweig wants to investigate the complex processes of building collapse during extreme flow events. The scientist has now been awarded the prestigious Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council (ERC).
Nearly two million euros in funding for mathematical optimisation project at TU Braunschweig. For his research in the field of mathematical optimisation, Professor Christian Kirches from Technische Universität Braunschweig receives a coveted Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council (ERC).
The development of cost-effective, reliable, and high-performance battery cells will be essential to strategic sectors in Europe such as the automotive industry (electro-mobility) and the electric power sector.
