Opening of MINT Week "MINT meets Sustainability": Introductory lecture "Hands-on Mathematics
Mathematics is only theoretical? Computer science only for nerds? Natural sciences are complicated and technology is dangerous? So it's best to leave it alone? Better not!
Because to solve many of today's problems, such as climate change, demographic development and the sustainable, responsible use of our energy resources, we need MINT - mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology.
For this reason, the MINT Hub of the University of Kassel will organize a MINT Week from Monday, 08.05.2023 to Saturday, 13.05 .2023 for the university and the region in the summer semester 2023.
On Monday, 08.05.23, there will be a central kick-off event at the Campus Center of the University into the joint STEM week:
6:00 pm - 7:30 pm (Lecture Hall 1): Introductory lecture, "Mathematics at your fingertips", Prof. Dr. Albrecht Beutelspacher, initiator and director of the Mathematikum Giessen, musically accompanied by the Volkswagen Sound Orchestra.
Prof. Dr. Albrecht Beutelspacher, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Giessen from 1988 to 2018, is the initiator and director of the Mathematikum in Giessen. The Mathematikum in Giessen is the world's first mathematical hands-on museum with more than 150 exhibits for visitors of all ages and educational backgrounds. Prof. Beutelspacher lives for mathematics. And he loves even more to bring it closer to others. He writes columns and books, and creates television programs.
For our planning, please register for the event.
