Lecture and event series "Science Talks"

Initiate impulses

The primary goal of the "Science Talks" series of lectures and events is to initiate thematic impulses, to create space for a stronger, interdisciplinary exchange and, in particular, to enable closer networking among the professors of the Faculty of Engineering.

The "Science Talks" events take place once a quarter and combine scientific lectures with exciting locations or activities that offer the opportunity for both professional and informal exchange, e.g. in the form of a guided tour, a visit or a networking event, and thus to find potential points of contact for joint research and to engage in conversation with colleagues.

Next date

Thursday 19 October 2023
3.30 to 7 p.m.
BG Clinic in Duisburg

The focus of the sixth event of the lecture and event series "Science Talks" on Thursday, October 19, 2023, will be exoskeletons, their research and application.

To this end, we will travel together to the BG Clinic in Duisburg, where we can view an exoskeleton in action. Afterwards, we will return to the Duisburg campus, where Prof. Dr. Elsa Kirchner from the Chair of Medical Technology Systems at the University of Duisburg-Essen will give a lecture on the topic "From SPACE to HEALTH and back" and present her research on exoskeletons:

"Exoskeletons are used in particular in the field of teleoperation and rehabilitation or support of patients. New developments should also make it possible to train and prepare astronauts for their missions under zero or reduced gravity using gravity compensating exoskeletons. In my talk, I will present the different applications and show how technical solutions with adaptations can be transferred between the mentioned fields, thus mutually benefiting each other."

Afterwards, you are cordially invited to the get-together.

Registration deadline: Friday, September 15, 2023
