Afterwards, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Guido Dartmann the exciting projects "Greentwin" and "Kira". Greentwin uses artificial intelligence to actively solve environmental problems - a prime example of "Green by Ai". Kira, on the other hand, focuses on the resource efficiency of AI systems and develops a reference model to optimize resource consumption over the entire life cycle of a AI system. Both projects are located on the environmental campus and have a significant contribution to sustainable technology development!

Another highlight was the lecture by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Gutheil, who reported on his international research trips. He attended partner universities in Jordan and the USA to promote the exchange of students and to intensify the cooperation in manufacturing technology. There was also an academic speed dating, in which the new professors of the university were presented, including Dr. Carola Glinski, Dr. Anna Donner de Ceiba and Dr. Christian Mock, who have all exciting projects and courses.
