Protecting cultural heritage in Germany from extreme climate events – There is a lack of reliable data and scientific studies on how and, above all, which future extreme weather events will affect our cultural heritage in the various regions of Germany and what measures we can take to protect our cultural heritage. Over the next three years, researchers will investigate this for the first time for Germany in the BMBF-funded project "KERES".

On October 26–29, 2020, we will address four topics that are extremely relevant for the power of innovation in Germany and Europe: Health. The digital economy. Systems and mechanical engineering. Mobility. On October 29, the Fraunhofer IBP will contribute to topic day 4 "The mobility economy – a driving force for tomorrow" as part of the Fraunhofer-Aviation presentation.

Innovative insulating materials made of shape memory polymers are developed and tested by the Fraunhofer Institutes for Applied Polymer Research IAP, for Chemical Technology ICT and for Building Physics IBP within the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Programmable Materials CPM. The high-tech foams are to be used as functional materials, for example in the field of construction.

On the occasion of the official market launch of GENERIS^®, the software solution for the evaluation of sustainable buildings, we are organizing a one-hour online seminar. Get to know the new interface, control elements and evaluation options using an example project. We will introduce the web software, the team and the new support website as well as the new GENERIS^® research network.

Fraunhofer IBP has developed a series of interesting products that involved the entire expertise of its specialist departments. If you are interested in further solutions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
