The University of Bayreuth presents its research on mosquitoes on the MS Wissenschaft

In 2026, the University of Bayreuth will be part of the major floating science exhibition on the MS Wissenschaft, which sets sail from Berlin on 7 May and will subsequently visit around 35 cities in Germany, Austria and, for the first time, Poland. Under the theme ‘Medicine of the Future’, the exhibition ship will demonstrate how research today is helping to rethink healthcare. The University of Bayreuth will be represented with its own exhibition – focusing on a topic that exemplifies the challenges of a globalised world: mosquitoes as disease vectors in the context of climate change, biodiversity and planetary health.

„Männersache am Heilort“: Research project on men's health

Scientists at the University of Bayreuth are investigating for the first time how a health and fitness programme specifically designed for men can be combined with therapies typically offered at a health resort. The aim is to motivate men between the ages of 45 and 65 to become more physically active and health-conscious in the long term. The project will take place in the summer in cooperation with the Bad Weißenstadt am See health resort.

Digital Education between Restriction and Meaningful Use

With the Bavarian cabinet’s recent decision to extend the mobile phone ban in schools, the debate on how to handle smartphones in educational settings is intensifying. Researchers at the University of Bayreuth are demonstrating in the Erasmus+ project “FOCUS” that bans alone are not enough. What is needed are didactic concepts that integrate digital devices in a meaningful and learning‑enhancing way.

Auf dem Oberfränkischen Imkertag 2026, gestern in #Münchberg, referierte Herr Dr. Andreas von Heßberg [1], Universität #Bayreuth über den dramatischen, ja katastrophalen, Verlust an Arten, Lebensräumen und genetischer Ressourcen – zusammengefasst: der Biodiversität. Er machte unter anderem deutlich, dass der meist betrachtete Verlust an Arten nur ein Teil der Biodiversität ist. Die Vielfalt an Lebensräumen und die genetische Vielfalt sind genauso wichtig für die Netze des Lebens.

Ein Folie aus seinem Vortrag visualisierte den Stand der Dinge und die zukünftige Entwicklung anschaulich: Die untere Kurve zeigt den fortschreitenden Biodiversitätsverlust. Wenn wir so weitermachen, zerstören wir unsere eigenen Lebensgrundlagen endgültig. Auch wenn viele inzwischen naturfern leben, sind wir auf funktionierende Ökosysteme angewiesen. Ohne sie können sich die Menschen z. B. nicht ernähren... 1/2

+++ Neue KI-Methode beschleunigt Flüssigkeitssimulationen +++

Physiker der Universität Bayreuth haben mithilfe von Künstlicher Intelligenz ein Verfahren entwickelt, das die Berechnung der Eigenschaften von Flüssigkeiten deutlich beschleunigen kann: Die KI-Methode sagt das chemische Potential voraus – eine unabdingbare Größe zur Beschreibung von Flüssigkeiten im thermodynamischen Gleichgewicht.
