Starting in November, the scientists at LOEWE-emergenCITY will be making Darmstadt's Lichtenbergblock more resilient to crises with the "Heinerboxes." The plan is for 40 sensor boxes from the LOEWE Center to be suspended from streetlights in the Lichtenbergblock – a ten-hectare section of Darmstadt's Martinsviertel – and measure the neighborhood's microclimate and traffic at a height of around four meters.

The symposium of the LOEWE research cluster Coropan also addressed a highly topical issue: coronaviruses. At the invitation of CoroPan, leading scientists, including Christian Drosten and many other national and international researchers, met from September 23 to 24 at Justus-Liebig-University Giessen.

For interdisciplinary exchange and networking, young medical physics researchers met for the first LOEWE-ADMIT Summer School at Rauischholzhausen Castle. Among the highlights of the event was the keynote lecture by Prof. Oliver Jäkel from the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg on "Image Guided Therapy: Why and How?", which provided insights into the latest developments in image-guided therapy.

And last but not least: The double portrait of the two Darmstadt professors Kristian Kersting and Constantin Rothkopf, who bring together research on modern AI and cognitive science within the framework of LOEWE-Whitebox and who, with their team, succeeded in establishing or participating in two Clusters of ExcellenceRAI and TAM.
