9th Doctoral
Seminar
Month: March 2024
From March 20 to 21, the 9th doctoral seminar with the doctoral students of Prof. Dr. Martin Faulstich took place at the Technical University of Dortmund. A total of 11 doctoral students and our habilitation candidate Dr. Lukas Gast took part in the seminar.
The seminar began with a visit to the “Bio.Inspiration” exhibition at DASA, which sheds light on how solutions from nature can be transferred to technology. During the rest of the course of the seminar, PhD students Sarah Friese, Konstantin Saure and Caroline Andersen presented the current status of their research on the topics of implementing nationwide targets for a sustainable energy transition at regional level, resource strategies for cities in Germany and the development of regional hydrogen infrastructures for energy system transformation
The participants had the opportunity to continue their discussions in a relaxed atmosphere over dinner.
The doctoral seminar was once again a great success and we are already looking forward to the next one!
Many thanks to Prof. Dr. Martin Faulstich and all participants for their dedicated participation and their contribution to the success of this event.
