Paderborn University physicist Professor Klaus Jöns has been awarded an ‘ERC Starting Grant’ from the European Research Council (ERC) – one of the most prestigious awards in the field of science in Europe.
An international team of leading scientists, headed up by Paderborn physicist Professor Klaus Jöns, has compiled a comprehensive overview of the potential, global outlook, background and frontiers of integrated photonics.
Quantum technologies are a focus of research worldwide, and an indispensable tool for exploring underlying phenomena used in imaging research for the scientific development of quantum communication systems. The German Research Foundation (DFG) has now approved two major instrumentation initiatives to address such applications.
As part of its “Catalysis under Dynamic Conditions” priority programme, the German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding a project on climate protection and the associated production of green hydrogen, conducted by Paderborn University, RWTH Aachen University and the Technical University of Kaiserslautern.
Last week, the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany (KMK) approved a comprehensive ten-year plan to improve mathematics education in Germany.

Das Thema sexueller Missbrauch von Minderjährigen in der katholischen Kirche hat heftige Debatten ausgelöst. Wesentliche Fragen waren allerdings bislang offen. Vor diesem Hintergrund hat das Erzbistum Paderborn die Universität Paderborn bereits im vergangenen Jahr mit einer historischen Studie beauftragt.
Eine schwere Erkrankung oder Verletzung führt im Durchschnitt zu ähnlichen geistigen Einbu-ßen wie eine Alterung um vier Jahre. Zu diesen Ergebnissen kommen Prof. Dr. Hendrik Schmitz vom Department Economics der Universität Paderborn und sein wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter Valentin Schiele in ihrer aktuellen Studie in Kooperation mit dem RWI – Leibniz-Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung. Dazu wurden Befragungen und Kognitionstests von rund 125.000…
The German Research Foundation (DFG) and its French partner organisation, the French national research agency (ANR), are funding a new project led by Paderborn chemist Professor Matthias Bauer for a period of three years.

A communication network based on the laws of quantum physics offers guaranteed protection by ensuring complete security against eavesdropping. That is the aim of the joint research project known as “Quantenrepeater.Link” (Quantum Repeater.Link, or QR.X). The project will receive three years of support from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), totalling around EUR 35 million.
