New key research focus on energy research at Leibniz University

Leibniz University has declared energy research as its new, sixth research focus! More than 300 researchers are working on these topics across all faculties, including, of course, those involved in the CRC 1463.

Design and operate future offshore wind turbines using digital twins

The aim of Collaborative Research Center 1463 is to research physical and methodological principles based on the concept of the Digital Twin. The Digital Twin is an individual simulation model for the development of integrated design and operational planning.

Welcome Prof. Julie Lundquist!

The CRC welcomes this year’s Mercator Fellow: Prof. Lundquist will be working with subproject A07 at the Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldenburg over the coming weeks.
