BioNanoTec week
The technical programme consists of experiments that are offered at the institutes of physics and biosciences during the student university. During the BioNanoTec week, you will experience the possibilities of modern electronics and biotechnology at first hand in the laboratories of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg at the Faculty of Chemistry, Physics and Biosciences.
You will get to know microorganisms as small production plants for interesting molecules and use biomolecules to extract strategic elements such as rare earths. These are used in pure form in today's electronics. You will produce and measure your own small test chip in a modern clean room laboratory. You will delve into the secrets of electrons and light waves, i.e. you will be guided from small light experiments (light decomposition, laser diffraction and holography) to the construction of a laser spectrometer. In contact with the scientists, you will directly experience what it means to work together in interdisciplinary research teams. During these days, we will cover everything from biotechnological applications to microelectronic components.
During the student university, there will be a barbecue evening where participants will have the opportunity to chat informally with students, doctoral students and staff, ask questions and gather information.
