When it comes to plastic, many people think of plastic waste first and foremost. But plastic is much more than that: without it, there would be no touchscreens, mobile phones, LED lighting technology and, during the coronavirus pandemic, no rapid vaccine development or FFP2 masks. Young research teams led by Professor Jürgen Wieser at the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Plastics Technology at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences are demonstrating just how sustainable and environmentally friendly plastics technology can be in several projects.

When ESA launches its next uncrewed space mission to the Moon, the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences and the University of Technology of Troyes (UTT) will be “on board”. The universities already cooperate closely in the European University of Technology and are about to begin their first joint research project with the European Space Agency (ESA). Based on the latest methods from Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, a team of researchers from the h_da and the UTT will develop AI procedures to help land space probes safely on the Moon.

30 nanotechnologists came together at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences in May to create a new basis for collaboration within the “European University of Technology” (EUT+): researchers from seven of the nine EUT+ partner universities participated in the two-day workshop. The aim is to establish a joint “European Research Institute”. (Text: Christina Janssen)
