Future-oriented events at LUH: Experience wind energy up close!
Discover the Gauß-AG at LUH: Practical workshops on wind energy and programming for students from October 13th to 24th, 2025.
Future-oriented events at LUH: Experience wind energy up close!
The Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) invites students to take part in the Gauß-AG, which will take place during the autumn break from October 13th to 24th, 2025. This event allows participants to intensively explore wind energy topics, air quality measurements and game programming. Under the guidance of students and academic staff, participants can actively research and experiment themselves. The Gauß-AG places particular emphasis on mathematical, scientific and technical subjects and is therefore ideal for young people with an interest in these areas.
The event takes place in various rooms at the university and the number of places is limited. Therefore, prior registration is required. If you need more information or would like to register, you can do so via the university website: www.uni-hannover.de/gauss-ag. Additional questions can be asked by email to Swantje Ludwig (swantje.ludwig@schulprojekte.uni-hannover.de).
Wind energy research
Wind energy plays a crucial role in the energy transition in Germany. A massive conversion and expansion of onshore and offshore wind turbines is necessary to achieve climate goals and ensure a sustainable power supply. The performance of wind turbines has improved significantly in recent decades thanks to intensive research. At the LUH, wind energy research is an integral part of the ForWind center, which works in collaboration with the universities of Oldenburg and Bremen as well as the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems IWES in the wind energy research network.
One focus of the research is on the Special Research Center Offshore Megastructures (SFB 1463), which was launched in 2021. An integrated design and operation methodology for offshore megastructures is being developed, with the concept of a digital twin playing a central role. Particular attention is paid to the development of support structures and rotor blades for offshore wind turbines with an output of more than 20 megawatts. Further information about SFB 1463 is available on the corresponding project page.
