Thomas Wagner initi­ated an in­terdiscipli­nary co­oper­ation pro­ject for the mar­ket launch of a new­ly de­veloped pho­to reac­tor, which sets a mile­stone in the mar­ket with high per­for­mance and pre­cise standardi­za­tion of the pro­cess­es. The de­vice is al­ready available for commer­cial pur­chase to­day.

The project examines the discursive value of the first-order concept of ordinary in the context of public talk media, as well as the discursive strategies and their intended perlocutionary effects for the discursive construction of ordinariness as an object of talk in mediated public talk, through the positioning of self and other speakers as ordinary and non-ordinary.

Sci­en­tific lec­tures, the dis­course of social top­ics, lei­sure activ­ities, team building and time to­geth­er: from these ele­ments, the stu­dents in the Elite Graduate Pro­gram Neu­roen­gi­neer­ing met for a four-day re­treat in the All­gäu.

IN­TEL invit­ed the stu­dents of the Elite Grad­uate Pro­gram “Ad­vanced Signal Pro­cess­ing and Communi­cati­ons Engi­neer­ing” to an excur­sion to Neu­bib­erg. There they had the op­por­tunity to visit labor­atories and get to know the latest tech­nolo­gies from the fields of ma­chine learn­ing and 5G.

The "So­cial Tech­nolo­gies AG" of the Elite Grad­uate Pro­gram “Fi­nance and In­for­mation Man­age­ment” orga­nized a pan­el dis­cussion with guests from prac­tice on the topic "Dis­rup­tive Tech­nolo­gies: In­ven­tion - Im­ple­men­tation - Impli­cati­on".

“Ori­ental stud­ies in Par­is”: Stu­dents of the Elite Grad­uate Pro­gram “Cul­tural Stud­ies of the Mid­dle East” of the Uni­versi­ty of Bam­berg and FAU Er­langen-Nürn­berg visit­ed a num­ber of re­search facili­ties and librar­ies of the French cap­ital.

What are the impli­cati­ons of mean­ing and values for us? How can the natu­ral sci­ences con­trib­ute as we con­tem­plate our val­ues? These were among the issues ex­plored at the 10th edi­tion of the Elite Net­work of Ba­varia FO­RUM. This year’s inter­disci­pli­nary series of lec­tures, enti­tled “Fu­ture val­ues?! – A change in per­spec­tive”, was held at the Uni­versi­ty of Re­gens­burg.

This year, the Elite Net­work of Ba­var­ia’s tradi­tional EliteCup was con­tested at the Uni­versi­ty Sports Cen­ter Mu­nich (ZHS). The team from the Hon­ors – Busi­ness, Eco­nom­ics and In­for­mation Sys­tems pro­gram won the cov­eted tro­phy for the first time.

The annu­al “Honors” Academy of the Elite Grad­uate Pro­gram “Honors in Busi­ness, Eco­nom­ics and In­for­mation Sys­tems” took the stu­dents to Pra­gue this year. In keep­ing with the topic “Do­ing Busi­ness be­tween East­ern and West­ern Eu­rope”, the stu­dents were pre­sent­ed with an aca­demi­cally and cul­turally varied pro­gram.

Among other topics, students dealt with inclusion, outdoor education and teacher’s health during the spring school of 2018 at Kloster Banz. Exchange on school-relevant, subject-specific as well as personal issues formed the core of the cross-university meeting.
