MOBILITY NEWS & EVENTS COORDINATING INDIVIDUAL TRAINING OF PROFESSIONAL SOCCER PLAYERS THROUGH DATA ANALYSIS: A PROJECT IN COOPERATION WITH SV WERDER BREMEN It's about finding the balance between stress and regeneration: How can data analysis be used to improve the training of professional soccer players, increase their performance, and minimize their susceptibility to injury? This was the question addressed in a cooperative project between the Data Engineering Master’s Program at Jacobs University and the SV Werder Bremen Soccer Club. USING MACHINE LEARNING TO BETTER UNDERSTAND CLIMATE CHANGE The more reliable data is available on past climate periods, the more accurate climate change models can be. Scientists at Jacobs University Bremen and the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) aim to use new machine learning methods to uncover climate information hidden in sediment cores. To this end, a doctoral position was created at the Helmholtz School for Marine Data Science. SECURE WIRELESS NETWORKS: JAPANESE-EUROPEAN RESEARCH PROJECT AT JACOBS UNIVERSITY The Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) is one of Japan's central research institutions and is responsible for implementing the country's science and technology policy. In cooperation with the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, the JST is funding three research projects in Germany, including one at Jacobs University Bremen. The project, led by Giuseppe Thadeu Freitas de Abreu, Professor of Electrical Engineering, focuses on the realization of secure wireless networks. THE IMPACT COVID-19 HAS ON TEACHING IN THE DEGREE PROGRAM ROBOTICS AND INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS COVID-19 is a driver of innovation in university teaching; Francesco Maurelli, Professor of Robotics at Jacobs University, is convinced of that. Students in the Robotics and Intelligent Systems program at Jacobs University Bremen can now use their robots for autonomous driving at a distance – from their rooms, for example. Professor Maurelli recently held a digital talk about adaptations to teaching due to the virus at the 12th International Conference on Robotics in Education in Bratislava, Slovakia. INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH PROJECT ON DYNAMIC SYSTEMS AT JACOBS UNIVERSITY Whether it is about the study of planetary motions, weather forecasts or the growth of bacterial cultures – involved are dynamical systems, which are mathematical models of real development processes. Although mathematicians have been working on such systems for a long time, many questions are still unanswered. Dr. Igors Gorbovickis, Professor of Mathematics at Jacobs University, is trying to close some knowledge gaps: in an international research project funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), the German research funding organization. JACOBS UNIVERSITY GRADUATES AWARDED WITH LOGISTICS PRIZE With its Thesis Award, the Supply Chain Network BVL (Bundesvereinigung Logistik) honors outstanding bachelor's and master's theses in the field of logistics. Two graduates of Jacobs University Bremen recently received the award: Yousuf Farooq and Valeria Núñez Alfaro. Both studied Industrial Engineering and Management at the international university and both dealt with sustainability in their bachelor’s theses. COOPERATIVE AND INTERDISCIPLINARY: CLIMATE RESEARCH PROJECT EXTENDED The aim is to improve climate analyses and their prediction accuracy. The German research foundation Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) has extended the interdisciplinary project Energy Transfers in Ocean and Atmosphere until June 2024. The project involves oceanographers, meteorologists and mathematicians from Bremen, Hamburg and Rostock, including Marcel Oliver, Professor of Mathematics at Jacobs University Bremen. The DFG is funding the second project phase with approximately twelve million euros. 2020/21 SEMESTER AT JACOBS UNIVERSITY BREMEN: GREAT DEMAND AMONG FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS DESPITE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC The international, English-speaking Jacobs University welcomes over 450 new students from 82 nations to its campus in northern Bremen, Germany, for the academic year 2020/21. With the start of the new academic year, 362 young people started their undergraduate studies in the 15 bachelor's programs at Jacobs University. Although the number of new students is slightly lower than in 2019/2020, President Loprieno sees the high demand for study places in view of the current coronavirus pandemic as an extraordinary confirmation of the educational concept of the international university. In total, more than 1,550 people from over 110 countries are studying at Jacobs University. INTELLIGENT USE OF GREEN ELECTRICITY IN INDUSTRY: NEW RESEARCH PROJECT AT JACOBS UNIVERSITY BREMEN The use of green electricity is a common practice for private households, but not for energy intensive industrial companies. How can they too succeed in consuming more electricity from renewable sources in the future? This is the subject of a project initiated by Hendro Wicaksono, Professor of Industrial Engineering at Jacobs University, together with SWT, the public utility company in Trier, and seven other scientific and economic partners. The three-year project is being funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy with around 2 million euros. Around a quarter will go to Jacobs University. HUMBOLDT RANKINGS 2020 CONFIRM: JACOBS UNIVERSITY BREMEN IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR GERMAN UNIVERSITIES AMONG RESEARCHERS FROM ABROAD Thinking beyond national borders is important – especially in science.

STUDY ON BRAZILIAN COFFEE CULTIVATION: CONVENTIONAL COFFEE HEALTHIER THAN ORGANIC COFFEE They help lowering the blood sugar level, reduce the risk of diabetes and have a positive effect on the liver: chlorogenic acids are considered beneficial for one’s health. In researching coffee beans from Brazil, the work group of Nikolai Kuhnert, Professor of Chemistry at Jacobs University, came to an apparently surprising result: organically grown coffee contains fewer chlorogenic acids than conventional coffee. "But that doesn't mean that consumers shouldn't buy organic coffee anymore," emphasized Kuhnert. The study was recently published in the journal "Food Research International". MATHEMATICS SCHOLARSHIP: SPARKASSE BREMEN AND JACOBS UNIVERSITY EXTEND COOPERATION AGREEMENT FOR ANOTHER TEN YEARS Jacobs University offers excellent study conditions to math talents. The Sparkasse Bremen also contributes to these conditions: it has now extended the cooperation agreement for the promotion of particularly talented students at the international University for another ten years. Students from the fields of Mathematics and Data Engineering will benefit from the cooperation with the financial institution, which has been in place since 2011. The up to eight young talents come from Germany and abroad and are distinguished by outstanding achievements. ONE VIRUS, FIVE SCIENTIFIC PERSPECTIVES: CORONAVIRUS-RESEARCH AT JACOBS UNIVERSITY BREMEN The coronavirus threatens and changes our lives in many ways: It attacks individual cells, influences the value system of humans and has massive economic consequences. At Jacobs University, scientists from a wide range of disciplines are researching its effects. "We want to contribute to a better understanding of the virus and to its successful control. In doing so, it is important to us to draw lessons for the future," says Prof. Thomas Auf der Heyde, Provost at the international university.
