SECTOR COUPLING: PROJECT IN THE FINAL OF “DIGITALE ORTE 2024”
How can municipalities connect their infrastructures for electricity, heating, and transportation and thus advance the energy transition? The website of the ZuSkE project, which is now on the shortlist of the “Digitale Orte 2024” competition, provides answers.

MULTI-TALENTED URBAN TREES
They provide cool air, increase biodiversity, and help us to relax. But what do urban trees need to be able to provide these “services” even in times of more extreme climate conditions? The URBORETUM innovation cluster, coordinated by ITAS, investigates this question.

MOBILITY: NEW EU PROJECT “CULTURALROAD”
Connected and automated vehicles could help reduce EU’s mobility emissions. Researchers from across Europe have now started to develop guidelines for the implementation of these technologies that take into account equity and cultural diversity.

“At ITAS, I deal with the risks of particle physics experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. These large-scale experiments in search of ground-breaking discoveries require tremendous amounts of resources and public funding. Therefore, the social and ethical considerations involved take us to the very heart of decision-making in science - right up to the question of whether the planned Future Circular Collider is worth pursuing at all.”
Marianne van Panhuys
Doctoral student at ITAS
