This year's HERBST-Uni, for the first time for all high school students, took place at the University of Paderborn from October 11-15, 2021. Within the framework of this trial study, prospective students were able to attend exciting lectures and impressive workshops from the STEM area (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) for one week and were thus given the opportunity to ask numerous questions about studying and to get to know student…
On September 21 and 22, 2021, the 12th PhD student seminar on adhesive bonding technology took place. This year, 11 PhD students from seven universities and Fraunhofer institutes together with their professors and group leaders accepted the LWF's invitation to Paderborn. The LWF was represented by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gerson Meschut and the research assistants Felix Beule, Nick Chudalla and Verena Aßmuth.
The project award of the European Research Association for Sheet Metal Processing e.V. (EFB) was presented for the first time by EFB President Dipl.-Ing. Klaus Linnig (Schuler Pressen GmbH) at a digital conference due to the pandemic. The EFB Project Award was presented for the 12th time this year. Since 2010, more than 45 young engineering scientists have been honored for their outstanding scientific and technical work on and completion of an…
Following the publicly funded research project "Method development for damage modeling for numerical process simulation of mechanical joining processes (AiF-No.: 19452 N)", which was successfully processed and completed at the Laboratory of Materials and Joining Technology (LWF), an industrial implementation of the results could be realized.
The two scientists Michael Ditz and Dr.-Ing. Jan Ditter from the Laboratory for Material and Joining Technology (LWF) under the direction of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gerson Meschut have developed an evaluation system for users of adhesive bonding technology based on a successfully completed publicly funded project. Their start-up FractureSurfaceTechnologies was founded on March 4th and supports industrial companies in analysing the failure pattern of…
On 15th of February 2021, the KORESIL project started, in which scientists at the LWF in collaboration with project partners from national research are developing concepts for the resource-efficient and safe production of lightweight structures.
The research and development project "Concepts for the resource-efficient and safe production of lightweight structures (KORESIL)", in which socio-technical solutions for process chains with closed material cycles are considered, started at the Laboratory for Materials and Joining Technology (LWF) of the University of Paderborn on 15 February 2021. In addition, this joint project is responsible for the coordination tasks for the national open…
More than 200 participants from industry and research met at the 21st Colloquium "Joint Research in Adhesive Bonding Technology" on March 02 and 03, 2021. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the colloquium could not take place in Würzburg as planned, but was digitally broadcast as a virtual conference for the first time.
In 2020, despite the challenging situation of the Corona pandemic, the Laboratory of Materials and Joining Technology (LWF) succeeded in setting a new record of third-party funds spent. In comparison, a total of 3.0 million euros was spent in 2017 and in 2020, the third-party funds spent increased to 4.0 million euros.
Leading technologies for the energy revolution - New research project „Concept development of a steel battery housing with special consideration to the joining technology and the corrosion protection (Steel Battery Housing)“
With the collaborative research project METEOR (Methods and technologies for validating and optimizing the resource efficiency of process networks in the production of lightweight structures), a new research project is starting at the Laboratory of materials and joining technology (LWF) at the University of Paderborn.
Detmold, 18 December 2020 - For the 16th time, Jowat is honouring first-class work in adhesives research. The prize, which is awarded every two years, goes to Dr Paulina Sierak in 2020.
