On Saturday, June 17, the student workshop on computer science will take place at the TU Ilmenau. In four exciting workshops, boys and girls from the 8th to 13th grade can learn about the fascinating world of computer science and also experiment themselves. They learn about the activities of computer scientists and engineers and they find out how they can become one themselves at the TU Ilmenau. Since the number of participants is limited, early registration is recommended.

Physicist Professor Jörg Kröger of the TU Ilmenau has been awarded the Thuringian Research Award 2023 in the category of basic research. With the award, the Free State of Thuringia honors Kröger's many years of research on the quantum physics of matter. Quantum technologies are about to become key technologies. Mastering them requires an understanding of the underlying principles, as Kröger explores them experimentally in his work. Prof. Jörg Kröger's basic research has the potential for innovative applications in electronics or medicine, among other fields.

"Flora Incognita," Germany's most popular plant identification app, has received new artificial intelligence - as a result, the number of plant species that can be determined has tripled: Around 16,000 species can now be identified worldwide. In addition, the app, which is now available in 20 languages, now also works in offline mode, and its digital educational offering includes a wealth of new information, such as improved distribution maps of many species.

The Technische Universität Ilmenau has developed an innovative audio technology for augmented and virtual reality that makes it possible to generate virtual sound sources in a natural environment. To a person moving in the room, the sound sounds realistic and convincing at all times: as they walk toward, past or around the sound source, they perceive the sound as if the source were actually in the room. The technology, which is already being developed with Meta Group, formerly Facebook, has huge market potential that extends far beyond entertainment and gaming.

The Technische Universität Ilmenau is involved in a major european project that is making air transport fit for a sustainable and climate-neutral future. 37 partners from eleven countries are developing new technologies for hybrid aircraft of the future, i.e. for aircraft with combustion engines and electric motors. The task of the

On Wednesday, April 19, 2023, the TU Ilmenau will celebrate for the third time the.

When the Ilmenau Science Night attracts young and old to the campus of the TU Ilmenau and the city on July 1, most of the events can be attended without prior registration and all of them are free of charge. The program is now available online at

The Technische Universität Ilmenau, together with research partners, has developed a microphone inspired by biology that picks up sound similar to the human ear.

On Girls' Day on April 27, TU Ilmenau and research institutes will open their doors on the university campus. Girls interested in technology and science from the 5th grade onwards will get exciting insights into science and research in various fields: Medical technology, microelectronics and mechatronics , augmented reality, automotive engineering and robotics. Young women can still apply for all offers until April 20 at

From April, female students and employees of TU Ilmenau will be able to access free products for their periods.

At Technische Universität Ilmenau, high school graduates have the opportunity to do a voluntary year in science, technology and sustainability (FJN). In this variant of voluntary service, the young men and women gain experience in science even before they start their studies: they work with researchers on a specific project. The voluntary year at the TU Ilmenau starts on September 1. Two research projects are available for selection: in electrical engineering and in media science. The application deadline is April 30.

The TU Ilmenau is involved in a large-scale research project that will further develop 6G, the next-generation mobile network, to enable new multimedia applications.
