The Chamber of Industry and Commerce for Upper Franconia Bayreuth (IHK), the Chamber of Crafts for Upper Franconia (HWK) and Hof University of Applied Sciences cordially invite you to the campus tour “Application meets Research” on September 29 at the campus in Hof (Alfons-Goppel-Platz 1). The event is aimed at companies, craft businesses and representatives from industry who would like to find out about current research approaches in a practical way.
Participants can expect a varied program: A hybrid kick-off with the presentation of a successful innovation project will be followed by a keynote speech from the field of water research with specific practical examples. The aquaponics and photocatalysis laboratories will then open their doors and provide exciting insights into new processes for the sustainable use of water and resources. The event will be rounded off by numerous opportunities for exchange and networking with science, business and trade.
A special highlight is the presentation by Prof. Günter Müller-Czygan, Director of the Institute for Sustainable Water Systems (inwa) at Hof University of Applied Sciences. He will shed light on how cities and regions can promote adaptation to climate risks such as heavy rainfall and drought with the help of concepts such as sponge cities and sponge regions, green roofs, retention systems and digital applications:
Measures such as green roofs, infiltration trenches or retention basins help to store rainwater when it falls and release it slowly in a targeted manner. This enables us to reduce flooding even during heavy rainfall – and at the same time use available water efficiently during dry periods.”
Prof. Günter Müller-Czygan
The campus tour is aimed specifically at companies that deal with topics such as resource-saving water management, digital infrastructure, municipal services of general interest and innovative water applications. It offers concrete points of contact for engineering companies, planning offices, trade companies and municipalities from the Upper Franconia region.
