In June 2024, we had the great opportunity to be part of the IdeenExpo in Hanover. The IdeenExpo is Europe‘s largest youth event for technology and natural sciences!
IdeenExpo aims to inspire young minds in the STEM fields and foster future experts.
We had the chance to support the ESERO (European Space Education Office) exhibition stand, thanks to our PIs Susanne Hüttemeister, Ralf-Jürgen Dettmar and Dominik Bomans, who are also ESERO partners.
In collaboration with ESERO, a lot of activities for school kids took place, like workshops, experiments, e.g. with our Kelvin-Helmholtz tube, chats and discussions.
With all that, we had the chance to reach out to thousands of kids - aiming to spark curiosity and love for science.
The IdeenExpo will take place again in 2026 and we are already looking forward to that!

From 10 to 13 Jun, our CRC came together in Bochum for its annual General Assembly!
This was an excellent opportunity for our community to exchange new ideas, strengthen collaborations and expand networks.
Together with Early Career Engagement, Soft Skill Training, and keynote talks from invited guests, we experienced an inspiring week of science and team spirit!
For the full program and additional information, please have a look at the conference page .

Congratulations to Frederic Effenberger, Maria Elena Innocenti and Jeremiah Lübke, who were successful in their ISSI team proposal on 'Energetic Particle Transport in Space Plasma Turbulence‘!
The project is highly relevant for our F1 and F2 projects.
Frederic is leading this international team, consisting of 12 members in total, with his long-term collaborator Eugene Engelbrecht (North-West University, South Africa) as co-leader.
The aim of their team project is to bring together experts in various fields, broadly centered on the study of plasma turbulence and comprised of specialists in theory, data analysis, and charged particle transport modeling.
This will take advantage not only of recent advances in our understanding of space plasma turbulence due to careful analyses of in-situ spacecraft observations in the inner heliosphere (such as those performed by Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter), but also of the latest developments in the numerical simulation of turbulence over multiple orders of magnitude in length scales

The „First Nordic Meeting on Radio and Neutrino Astronomy“ took place at Chalmers University in Gothenburg, Sweden from 27.- 30. May 2024.
This conference was organized by our speaker as a special conclusion to her jubilee professorship.
On this quite unique occasion, the two very different communities of radio astronomers and neutrino astronomers came into a very fruitful exchange. About 50 scientists, mainly from the Nordic European countries, but also from more southern areas such as the USA and Chile, met and discussed the latest developments and joint projects in their fields of research.
This successful format will serve as the starting point for a series of conferences that will be continued in two years' time.

As our SFB approaches the halfway point of its first research phase, our PIs met for two days last week, May 2nd to May 3rd, at Burghotel Volmarstein to discuss the progress of each individual project. This is an important step, as the SFB is gearing up to prepare its application for acceptant into phase 2! The meeting was very successful and demonstrated just how much progress our projects have made, motivating us for the next two years, and hopefully beyond! We are very proud of all our researchers have accomplished.
