On Monday, 14 and Tuesday, 15 October 2024, two of our employees took part in the kick-off event for the new research programme ‘Transformation des Energiesystems Niedersachsen TEN.efzn’ in Hanover. A new joint project that will be funded with 58.2 million euros over the next five years by the zukunft.niedersachsen funding programme.
As part of the research platform ‘Vertrauenswürdige Digitalisierung sicherheitskritischer Energiesysteme’, Karoline Misch and Farina Wille will focus on the analysis of trust in socio-technical (agent) systems and the design of human-machine interfaces (HMIs).
This year, several of our colleagues presented a poster at the 53rd DGPs Conference in Vienna. Unfortunately, due to severe flooding, we were unable to attend the event in person. However, we quickly adapted and presented our research remotely.
While we would have loved to be there in person to fully engage with other participants, participating online still allowed us to hear some interesting talks and contribute to the event. We are glad we were able to attend despite the circumstances and look forward to the next conference!
The first poster conference as part of our department's biopsychology seminar took place on 11 July. To round off the semester, the students presented the results of their group work. Their task was to model an everyday situation using a game theory or optimality model. We are delighted with the numerous ideas and the enjoyable event!
On May 6, Prof. Dr. Frank Eggert and Dr. Matthias Borgstede (Otto-Friedrich University Bamberg) are invited to the PTB for a lecture on "A Theory of Psychological Measurement Based on Relational Responding" from 10:00 to 11:30 am. Further information and the link to the online broadcast can be found here.
We are pleased that our lecture series about quality assurance and quality management took place again this summer semester. Under the direction of Hon.-Prof. Dr. med. René Brouwer, FETCS, we offered four exciting lectures, which this year focused on the topic of AI in medicine. We would like to thank Hon.-Prof. Dr. med. René Brouwer, FETCS and all participants for the inspiring insights and discussions! Further information on the lecture series can be found here.
This summer semester, Prof. Dr. med. René Brouwer, FETCS, is offering an additional course on methods of quality assurance and quality management. In four lectures, which can also be attended individually, various speakers will report on current methods and approaches.
Topics in this summer semester 2024:
The event is open to all. Please join the course on Stud.IP if you would like to attend.
Alex Rieger, Jan de Haan and Frank Eggert together with Anne-Kathrin Schneider (Institute of Geoecology, TU Braunschweig), Anett Schibalski (Thünen Institut) and Boris Schröder-Esselbach (TU Berlin) present their talk "Promises and limitations of applying structural equation modelling techniques from psychology in other disciplines exemplified in geoecology" at the 70th Biometric Colloquium in Lübeck. It deals with the application of existing, in particular dynamic, structural equation modelling in ecological contexts. This talk originates from the interdisciplinary project win^2 with researchers from the Institute of Geoecology at TU Braunschweig.
