SCIENCE CAMP 2018 - A REVIEW


On November 22, 1818, the research camp of the University of Rostock took place for the eighth time in the atrium of the Konrad-Zuse-Haus. Sich treffen, kennenlernen, sich informieren und sich austauschen – das ist jedes Jahr der Fokus der interdisziplinären Austausch- und Vernetzungsplattform.

The heart of the event is the popular and traditional Poster Session.  In 2018, in total 80 research projects were presented from seven faculties of the University of Rostock, the Interdisciplinary Faculty , the Leibniz Institutes  (LIKAT, IOW, FBN), the Institute for ImplantatTechnology and Biomaterials e.V. (IIB) asa well as a research project of the University of Greifswald.

After the words of welcome by State Secretary Sebastian Schröder and the rector, Prof. Dr. med. Wolfgang Schareck the Science Camp started with a panel discussion on "How does digitization change my research?". For this purpose, a short film was shot in collaboration with Marcus Müller from the ITMZ, which represents different voices of scientists and encourages further discussion.

Between the Poster Sessions, the Science Slam and the award ceremony of the Photo Competition of the Graduate Academy on "My Research!" took place. The five Science Slam contributions brought quite different performances on the stage.

POSTER SESSION


GUIDING THEME DIGITALIZATION

Digitization - a term that passes through all areas of life in the present and dominates in public discussions. The context in which digitization is considered has a crucial impact on the interplay of opportunities, challenges and risks. Together with the podium participants, the influence of increasing digitization on research was brought into focus.

Short film - "Your voice for digitization"

What do scientists say about digitization? What aspects do they see in private as well as in relation to their research? In preparation for the panel discussion as part of the Science Camp 2018, we asked 11 scientists.

The answers concerning different areas and range from the BahnApp to data protection.
