DediGrad Collaborative Research Centre approved
In November 2024, the German Research Foundation (DFG) approved the establishment of the Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio (SFB/TRR 402) entitled "Intelligent production technologies for lightweight plastic structures with load-dedicated 3D grading of the reinforcement architecture - DediGrad". The Chemnitz University of Technology is the spokesperson under the leadership of Prof Dr Lothar Kroll. The research team is made up of 27 researchers from TU Chemnitz, TU Dresden, RWTH Aachen University, TU Vienna and Fraunhofer IWU, who will be researching this highly relevant topic over 45 months in the first project phase with a total funding amount of 16.4 million euros.

WOT excursion to Scholz Recycling GmbH
On 16 September 2023, the employees of the WOT professorship were able to visit Scholz GmbH together at one of its largest processing sites in Espenhain near Leipzig. We spent three hours on site and learnt first-hand about the challenges and physical limits of separating and recycling scrap. The highlight was the guided tour of the company premises, where we experienced the impressive processes involved in handling and processing several hundred thousand tonnes of scrap every year.
