Institute of Transport Logistics celebrates its 25th anniversary

0 The celebration also marked Professor Uwe Clausen's 25th anniversary as Institute Director at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics (Fraunhofer IML). As head of the institute, Professor Uwe Clausen can look back on more than 45 successfully supervised doctorates and more than 800 supervised theses. Together with his team, he has also organized and attended numerous specialist events in recent years. Manfred Bayer, Rector of the Technical University of Dortmund and Moritz Schulze Darup, Dean of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, congratulated him with a word of welcome. Professor Alice Kirchheim (Chair of Material Handling and Warehousing), Professor Michael Henke (Chair of Enterprise Logistics) and former senior engineer Dr. Christiane Geiger also paid tribute to the many years of successful collaboration in teaching and research. A concluding panel discussion with experts from science and practice opened up a variety of perspectives on the topic of multimodal logistics and provided important impetus for the future development of this central field of activity. …

The Path to your own Patent or Spin-off

A patent is a specific way of publishing research findings. If the research result is a technical invention that is new, original, and fundamentally industrially applicable, there is generally nothing standing in the way of obtaining a patent. However, patents do not necessarily have to be the foundation for starting a business, as innovative business ideas can also be protected through other means and lead to the creation of a spin-off. “Too complicated” is the common misconception often associated with the patenting and startup process. The Information Center for Technology and Patents (ITP) and the Center for Entrepreneurship and Transfer (CET) demonstrate that this prejudice is unfounded, that TU Dortmund University offers comprehensive services for patenting, and that inventors not only have obligations but also tangible benefits from patenting their inventions—or access to tailored support services at TU Dortmund University.

The path to your own patent or spin-off

0 A special form of publishing research results is the patent. If the research result is a technical invention that is new, original and, in principle, also commercially applicable, nothing actually stands in the way of patenting. However, patents do not necessarily have to be the cornerstone of founding a company, as innovative business ideas can also be protected in other ways and result in a spin-off. "Too complicated" is the prejudice that is often held against the patenting and start-up process. The Information Center for Technology and Patents (ITP) and the Center for Entrepreneurship and Transfer (CET ) show that this prejudice is wrong, that TU Dortmund University offers comprehensive services for patenting and that inventors not only have obligations, but in particular tangible benefits from patenting their inventions or have access to needs-based support services at TU Dortmund University.

sfs Participation in the 43rd Congress of the German Sociological Association (DGS) at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz

0 As part of the Section on Rural, Agricultural, and Food Sociology’s event on “Digital Foodscapes,” Dr. Lisa-Marian Schmidt presented excerpts from her postdoctoral research project. Under the title “Worlds of Pleasure? Digital Subjectivations in the Food Crafts,” she explained the initial findings of her empirical research on the confectionery and winemaking trades and opened them up for discussion. It becomes apparent that digital subjectification is a fragmented network of images, texts, and numerical objects that is constituted in layers. Pastry chefs present themselves within this network—and through it—as “artists of indulgence,” while winemakers primarily highlight the traditional production conditions of “manual labor in and with nature” as a central aspect of their identity. Christine Best participated in the ad hoc group on sociological research on menstruality organized by Dr. Corinna Schmechel (University of Göttingen), where she presented preliminary findings from her ongoing dissertation project, which lies at the intersection of gender studies and the sociology of work and is supervised by Prof. Dr. Mona Motakef at TU Dortmund University. In her presentation titled “‘ I just suffer through it and try to get on with it somehow ’—Empirical Highlights from a Qualitative Study on the (In)visibility of Menstruation in the Workplace,” Christine Best presented a preliminary case study of a physical therapist. The case reconstruction illustrates that, in this instance, the way menstruation is handled in a work context is characterized by shame, taboo, and invisibility. In doing so, the physical therapist must operate within structural paradoxes that marginalize her own experience and in which she also (re)produces the uncaring working conditions that surround her. Social science research on menstruation is still a relatively new field in the German-speaking world. In particular, connections to labor and industrial research are rare. The ad hoc group generated considerable interest, thereby contributing to both visibility and networking within the German-speaking research community. …

Masterstudiengang MMPPLS begrüßt 56 neue Studierende

0 Der neue Jahrgang zeichnet sich durch eine große internationale und fachliche Vielfalt aus: 72 Prozent der Studierenden kommen aus dem Ausland und vertreten vier Kontinente – Afrika, Asien, Europa und Nordamerika. Auch die fachlichen Hintergründe der Studierenden sind breit gefächert. Neben Absolventinnen und Absolventen der Physik und Medizinphysik bringen sie Kenntnisse aus der Biomedizin, dem Maschinenbau und dem Bioingenieurwesen mit. Mit einem Frauenanteil von 59 Prozent setzt der neue Jahrgang zudem ein Zeichen für Vielfalt in den Naturwissenschaften. Im ersten Semester erwerben die Studierenden gemeinsame Grundlagen in Physik, biomedizinischer Physik und verwandten Fachgebieten. Zugleich bietet der Studiengang Raum für den interdisziplinären Austausch und die Zusammenarbeit über Fach- und Ländergrenzen hinweg. Ziel ist es, unterschiedliche Perspektiven zusammenzuführen und die physikalischen Grundlagen medizinischer Anwendungen sowie lebender Systeme zu erforschen. Seit dem Start im Wintersemester 2025/26 hat sich der Studiengang dynamisch entwickelt. Bereits nach einem Jahr ist die Gesamtzahl der Studierenden auf 113 angewachsen. Damit hat sich die Zahl der Teilnehmenden seit dem Start etwa versechsfacht. Die Fakultät Physik freut sich, die neuen Studierenden in Dortmund willkommen zu heißen und gemeinsam mit ihnen die weitere Entwicklung des Masterstudiengangs MMPPLS zu gestalten. …

Gastvortrag von Dr. Deborah Warnock im Rahmen des BMBF geförderten Forschungsprojekts BiFam an der Fakultät Sozialwissenschaften

Dr. Deborah Warnock ist Leiterin des McNair-Stipendienprogramms an der VTSU Castleton. Sie hat einen Doktortitel und einen Master in Soziologie von der University of Washington sowie einen Bachelor in Psychologie und Germanistik vom Vassar College. Bevor sie zur VTSU kam, war Dr. Warnock Direktorin des Educational Opportunity Programm an der SUNY Schenectady. Außerdem war sie als Dozentin für Soziologie am Bennington College, an der SUNY Cortland und am Skidmore College tätig. Dr. Warnock ist stolz darauf, Studierende der ersten Generation und Studierende aus einkommensschwachen Verhältnissen zu unterstützen, da sie selbst aus einem ähnlichen Umfeld stammt. In dem Vortrag wird Deborah Warnock einen Überblick über ihre Forschung zu Akademikern der ersten Generation und aus der Arbeiterklasse geben. Sie wird ihre Arbeit zu neuen Themen aus der autoethnografischen Literatur über Akademiker aus der Arbeiterklasse näher erläutern und darlegen, wie sich diese im Laufe der Zeit verändert haben (oder auch nicht). Außerdem wird Sie die Arbeit der Task Force der American Sociological Association zu Akademikern der ersten Generation und aus der Arbeiterklasse in der Soziologie erörtern, die sie mitgegründet hat. Zusätzlich wird sie Ergebnisse unserer Mixed-Methods-Studie präsentieren und darlegen inwieweit die soziale Klasse Mobilität, Erfolg und Zugehörigkeit innerhalb der Professorenschaft beeinflusst. Abschließend wird Sie auf die Sichtbarkeit der sozialen Klasse innerhalb der akademischen Welt eingehen. Eine Anmeldung ist nicht notwendig. …
