In our courses "Hazard prevention and emergency management" and "Information management for public safety and security", we not only deal with the topics theoretically at university, but also look at their implementation in real life. The excursion to the Dortmund fire department provided a good opportunity to understand the complex interrelationships and ask the rescuers lots of questions. After being welcomed by Chief Fire Officer Dirk…
The research project "Bionics and AI for Sustainable Integration of Product Development for Resource-Efficient Lightweight Construction" (German akronym: BIKINI), funded by the BMWK and launched in October 2021, was successfully completed after three years of productive collaboration in Bremerhaven with our project partner, the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI).
The developed software prototypes offer the possibility to make statements about…
Hey, I'm Kathi and I'm very happy to be a new research assistant at the DMB!

I am also active in ESTIEM, a Europe-wide organization for WING students, as the Local Responsible of the LG Paderborn. This has given me the desire to…
As part of our courses on emergency response, fire protection and information systems, we took the students on an excursion to the 112Rescue trade fair in Dortmund. There we met with Mr. Aschenbrenner for a tour of the trade fair and were able to gain an insight into the various topics of fire protection, rescue services and technical assistance. In particular, innovations in robotics and virtual reality could be tried out and experienced at…
As part of the 21st annual global conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management (ISCRAM), we presented our research findings on the current state of knowledge management in German fire departments. During the conference, we were able to discuss and refine our approaches with operators and researchers from all over the world. As a venue, the NRW Fire Service Institute (IdF NRW) provided the ideal conditions for networking…
At the 70th annual conference of the Association for the Promotion of German Fire Protection (vfdb) we had the Opportunity to present our poster on knowledge management in fire departments. Based on the results of our survey conducted in fall 2023 among German fire departments with 577 participants, we surveyed the current situation of knowledge management in German fire departments. We were able to identify a number of challenges that stand in…
