How many resources does climate adaptation require? A new study by the University of Augsburg and the University of Waterloo uses the Maldives as a case study to show the quantities of materials needed for coastal protection and land reclamation—and why this is important for future planning.

14 Tesla for new insights into the world of quantum materials: a state-of-the-art 14-Tesla measurement platform has come into operation at the Institute of Physics at the University of Augsburg. The facility enables experiments under extreme conditions and opens up new insights into the physical fundamentals of future technologies.

The ancient historian PD Dr. Dr. Christopher Schliephake explores how ancient societies regulated the use of natural resources and particularly the role of religious ideas played in this context. The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding the new project at the University of Augsburg on the environmental history of ancient Greece. The three-year project will receive around 240,000 euros.

On 14 July 2026, the University of Augsburg campus was officially awarded the title Blühender Betrieb (“Blooming Organisation”). Bavaria’s Environment Minister, Thorsten Glauber, presented the award at a ceremony held at the Bavarian Ministry of the Environment in Munich. The University is now one of 128 organisations in Bavaria to hold the title Blühender Betrieb.

Prof. Dr. Daniel Peterseim, Professor of Computational Mathematics and Director of the Centre for Advanced Analytics and Predictive Sciences (CAAPS), has been awarded funding through the Autumn 2025 RSE Research Awards and the PPP-programme with Scotland of the DAAD.

At the Centre for Future Production at the University of Augsburg, a team led by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Nils Meyer combined classical physics models with AI-based models in a software that performs the necessary calculations in just a few seconds. Making their approach up to 100 times faster than standard software solutions, saving both time and resources.
