The research laboratory of the Bremen Initiative to Foster Early Childhood Development (BRISE) is set up for children between six months and six years of age. Here, we work with EEG and behavioral observations as well as eye-tracking applications. Using the EEG, we can investigate brain function in different age groups and thus the maturation of the brain. As part of the behavioral observations, we record small games that children of different ages can play – for example, how well they remember something. With the help of eye tracking, a child’s eye movements are recorded in order to obtain information about processing speeds even in very young children, for example. Why are we doing this? BRISE (Bremen Initiative to Foster Early Childhood Development) wants to investigate the age at which children are able to master certain skills and which brain maturation processes are associated with this. In cooperation with support programs for families, BRISE aims to help all children get a good start at school and support measures to improve educational equity.

In the context of climate protection and the energy revolution, it is important to persuade the production and logistics industries as the largest consumers of primary energy to rethink a number of practices: moving away from compensation payments toward the use of renewable energy, the use of efficiency technologies, and the creation of flexibility measures. In this respect, the BIBA (Bremen Institute for Production and Logistics) is researching future value creation in production and logistics systems based on a sustainable product life cycle. The circular economy and energy are key success factors here. One focus of this research is the integration of energy systems into production and logistics systems at the product and process level, specifically in the area of generation, storage, and use of renewable energies in the electricity, heating, and mobility sectors. On a guided tour of the BIBA research hall and the LogDynamics Lab, we will explore the question of how to create and implement climate-neutral, competitive production and logistics processes that create added value for society. Join us and find out how BIBA, with its holistic view of production and logistics, contributes to the creation and exploitation of innovative synergy effects through the integrated use of renewable energies.

With the aim of combining self-determined living and quality of life, researchers at the Bremen Ambient Assisted Living Lab (BAALL) of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) have been developing and testing technical assistance and support systems since 2009. The intelligent and connected technologies adapt to the individual needs of people and help to make everyday life at home more comfortable, safer, and more energy efficient.
In addition to research and development work, BAALL also serves to exchange ideas with partners from industry, housing, nursing, and health care, to engage in dialogue with the public, and to promote early-career researchers.
After a one-year renovation phase, the original 60 m2 apartment was expanded to 120 m2, modernized, and equipped with additional technical options, such as a new virtual test environment.
Visit BAALL as part of OPEN CAMPUS at the University of Bremen and learn about intelligent technologies, the innovations that were part of the renovation work, and in general about the housing of the future. Dr. Serge Autexier, head of BAALL and researcher in the Cyber-Physical Systems research area at the DFKI (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence), and his team will be on hand to answer any questions.

Microbiology in the field of beneficial microbe–plant interactions can serve as a sustainable modern tool to improve global food security and combat malnutrition. Drought-tolerant local pulses from sub-Saharan Africa could also grow in nutrient-poor soils thanks to their ability to form symbiotic root nodules with native rhizobia (soil bacteria). The bacteria supply nitrogen to the plant, which they fix from the atmosphere. The nitrogen fixation of root nodule symbiosis is therefore an important contribution to nitrogen and organic matter in soil and plants. Therefore, the development of climate-friendly organic fertilizers (rhizobia) has the potential to improve the cultivation of indigenous pulses in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way. The increase in yields of some of these protein-rich, underestimated beans could even serve as a source of vegan and vegetarian food for the European market. Part of our research therefore focuses on the development of noncommercial organic fertilizers for beans in the arid regions of Namibia. During the tour, you will visit our laboratories and learn about the regional legumes we work with, how they grow here in growth chambers both with and without rhizobia treatment, what the nitrogen-fixing root nodules and bacteria look like, how the bacterial cultures are microbiologically bred and detected by molecular diagnostics (identification), and ultimately prepared for transport as organic fertilizer. This tour is aimed at trainees, students, and others who want to learn more about the range of beneficial microbial–plant interactions and their environmentally friendly applications in agriculture and the production of food staples.

Over 450 million people worldwide have diabetes, and the trend is rising. The islet cells in the pancreas no longer produce enough insulin – the hormone that regulates sugar levels in the body. Under the influence of too much sugar and fat in our diets, but also as a result of inflammatory messenger substances in the body – caused by viral infections, for example – the cells die and the body’s metabolism is completely disrupted. On this tour, you will visit the laboratories of diabetes research; blood sugar will be measured, the pancreas of a patient with diabetes will be analyzed under a microscope, and new methods of treatment will be presented, which we will explore in the laboratory. This event is aimed specifically at students who are interested in biology and medicine, as well as people with diabetes.

The gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. Black holes even distort space and time around them. Blast off into the exciting world of astrophysics.
