With the involvement of the University of Augsburg, international researchers have presented a new roadmap for surface acoustic waves. Co-coordinated by Prof. Christoph Westerhausen, the publication outlines how this technology will evolve over the next ten years, spanning applications from signal processing to quantum technologies and the life sciences.

The University of Augsburg launched a new corporate design at the end of April. With the relaunch, the University of Augsburg is strengthening its identity as a modern, interdisciplinary, and networked institution, putting its motto “Scientia et Conscientia” in the spotlight.

As in November 2024, the open forum on the 27th of April will also provide an overview of the current state of sustainability, climate protection, and biodiversity and will provide participants with the possibility to contribute their own ideas.

The first summer school for the degree programmes European Cultures of Communication will take place from the 31st of August to the 4th of September 2026. Doctoral candidates and master’s students can learn about and explore the development of writing and communicative practices from the early modern period to the present. Applications are open until the 29th of May 2026.

In close collaboration with researchers from the University of Michigan (USA), physicists in Augsburg have succeeded for the first time in proving experimentally and theoretically that heat transport through molecules can change by up to a factor of two through the exchange of a single atom. The study was published in the highly renowned journal Nature Materials.

A new collaborative project between LMU, University of Augsburg, UKA, and TUM helps cities to protect the health of their populations in the face of climate change. The project supports evidence-based political decision-making and develops practical solutions in collaboration with local authorities, decision-makers, and residents.
