As well as producing outstanding graduates and first-class research results, the members of our university also produce something else: a wealth of excellent publications that deserve to be showcased.
At the Leipzig Book Fair, taking place from 21 to 24 March 2024, Professor Röbbe Wünschiers and René Kretschmer will once again be presenting almost everything that fits between two covers at stand D307 in Hall 2: practical handbooks, remarkable biographies, expert specialist books and useful reference works, all penned by members of the Mittweida University of Applied Sciences.
As well as the books, visitors can also find out about the university’s degree programmes and get advice. Professor Wünschiers is also giving away gym bags featuring a drawing by Master’s student Anna Nauruschat on the theme ‘http://DNAlesen.de’. But first, the HSMW’s genetic code must be cracked...
As was the case last year, there will once again be informal meetings with our professors who are also writers.
Professor Christoph Meyer, Vice-Chancellor for Education, will kick things off on Thursday 21 March 2024. From 3.00 pm to 4.00 pm, he will be a guest at the #buchbar in Hall 4, Stand E101, where he will present his new book, *Greta Wehner: A Woman Steps Out of the Shadows* – due to be published this autumn – as a tribute to a remarkable woman and social worker.
On Saturday (23 March) from 1.30 pm to 2.00 pm, Professor Röbbe Wünschiers will be discussing his book *Generation Gen-Schere* – *Genetic Engineering Concerns Us All* with visitors at Stand D500 in Hall 2. By now, almost everyone is aware that genetic engineering is a hot topic and certainly not without controversy. However, very few people understand what genetic engineering is really about, how it is applied, and how it differs from other genetic or breeding techniques. Come and join the conversation and have your say.
Last but not least, on Sunday (24 March) from 4.00 pm to 4.30 pm in Hall 4, Stand E101, at the #buchbar “Science”, Professors Labudde and Wünschiers will be hosting their own session – a panel discussion for science enthusiasts: Dirk Labudde reconstructs crime scenes using 3D models, simulates the sequence of events and creates digital twins of the victims. Röbbe Wünschiers explains, even to the layman amongst us, how DNA tests work and how genetic engineering is changing our everyday lives. (from the #buchbar programme)
Four days of a packed programme of events, four days of crowds of visitors and four days of a celebration for book lovers.
Come along and visit our stand. Further information about the book fair is available on the fair’s website (link).
