Worldwide cooperation: Experts from Stanford and Twente visiting Münster!

The digital future is put to the test! On March 4, the new online course series "Sustainability in the Digital Age" begins on the OpenHPi educational platform of the Hasso Plattner Institute. This initiative, which is made possible by a cooperation between SAP, Stanford University and the HPI, aims to focus on the topic of energy efficiency of digital technologies. The offer is free and in English, so it is accessible to the general public. Vanessa Parli is headed by the Stanford University, which deals with the ecological footprint of AI systems. There are many questions in the room: How sustainable is the digital world really? And how strongly contaminates artificial intelligence our climate? Information about this exciting educational offer can be found in APA-OTS.

A look at battery research and international cooperation

In the meantime, a “Winter School” will take place in the Meet battery research center of the Westphalian Wilhelms-Universität Münster from January 24th to 26th. High -ranking experts from the Universities of Stanford (USA) and Twente (Netherlands) meet to intensify the cooperation in battery research. These meetings are not only an opportunity for the exchange of specialist knowledge, but also a reaction to the global challenges of the energy and mobility transition. Martin Winter, the director of the Meet, emphasizes that production and research on batteries are crucial for a sustainable system. The partner's expertise is used synergetically to plan the most important steps in battery research. This is done as part of a cooperation that is supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, as can also be seen on the website of the University of Münster.

The questions about energy efficiency in digital technologies and research into batteries are more current than ever. This targeted cooperation not only creates new knowledge, but also paves the way to a more sustainable future. Further steps in cooperation are to be planned for the common “Winter School” in the coming years, while the course “Sustainability in the Digital Age” stimulates people around the world to think about their own energy consumption.
