140,000 processing cores, the very latest generation of high-tech features, and compact enough to fit inside a squash court – Paderborn University is getting a new supercomputer.

Researchers from TRR 266 “Accounting for Transparency” at Paderborn University and LMU Munich offered a first look at the data from their third worldwide survey on tax complexity, carried out in 2020. Once again the data confirms what the previous studies (2018 and 2016) showed: the general level of tax complexity has increased worldwide in the last two years.

In collaboration with colleagues from the University of Münster, the Technische Universität Berlin and the Tor Vergata University of Rome in Italy, physicists from Paderborn University have succeeded in depositing ultra-thin organic layers on the semiconductor material silicon with atomic precision.

Die Coronapandemie hat es nochmal deutlich gezeigt: Die Digitalisierung der Hochschullehre ist eine Herausforderung, die es schnellstmöglich zu bewältigen gilt. Neben technischen Hürden haben sich insbesondere auch Ungleichheiten in den Lernvoraussetzungen der Studierenden herauskristallisiert. Um den Einsatz digitaler Hilfsmittel zur Förderung von Selbststeuerung, Feedback und die Integration nicht-kognitiver Aspekte in die Prüfungskultur zu…
