Group Retreat in Annweiler am Trifels
Last month, our research group spent a few days in the mountains of Annweiler am Trifels for our first retreat. Being away from the lab created time to talk about ongoing projects and share thoughts. Alongside the presentations and discussions, we enjoyed a hike through the autumn landscape and some good food. The quiet surroundings made it easy to step back and look at our work from a different angle. We’re already looking forward to next year.
Faculty Teaching Award 2025 for Alexander Grünberger
Alexander Grünberger received the KIT Faculty Teaching Award in 2025. Together with Ulrike van der Schaaf, Dirk Holtmann, and Jürgen Hubbuch, he was honored for the redesigned lecture “Introduction to Bioengineering” at the Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering. The team fundamentally restructured the course, closely linking theoretical foundations with practical, application-oriented examples. This approach provides students with a hands-on introduction to key topics in bioengineering and helps spark early enthusiasm for the field. Find more: KIT Faculty Teaching Award 2025
