The workshop is based on ideas from a joint position paper of the three collaborating »Open Innovations Platform« projects VIPCOAT, OpenModel and MUSICODE. Our colleague Dr. Peter Klein from the division »Optimization« will be present on site as part of the workshop committee.

The herCAREER-Expo supports women in their professional environment. The trade fair stands for gender equality: Whether entering or advancing in a job or founding a company – the herCAREER-Expo offers numerous opportunities for a direct exchange of experiences with experts and personalities from business, science, culture, politics, and the media. Our colleague Elisabeth Wagner-Weig from the Human Resources Department will represent the Fraunhofer ITWM on site. In addition, other Fraunhofer Institutes will be represented.

In our Math Talent School, female students have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in workshops and with individual mentoring, and to work in teams on real applied math challenges.

Dr. Matthias Herzog, Head of Department »Debeka« and Dr. Stefan Mai, Management Team »Produktinformationsstelle Altersvorsorge« at Fraunhofer ITWM, will give a german tandem lecture followed by a discussion on the topic »Transparency Initiative – Making bAV Products More Comparable«.

The conference will focus on new testing methods in combination with numerical simulation, issues related to the value chain and the sustainable development of components up to the end of life of the components. Our colleagues Dr. Michael Burger and Dr. Michael Speckert from the division »Mathematics for Vehicle Engineering« will be present with a booth and a presentation.

Prof. Dr. Ralf Korn, Consultant at our Institute and Founder of the Department »Financial Mathematics« and Dr. Stefan Mai, Business Area Developer »Retirement Provision and Life Insurance« and Customer Management of the Department »Financial Mathematics« give a tandem lecture on the topic »Solvency Capital Estimation with Linear Regressions and Neural Networks«.

The conference is aimed at specialists and managers from insurance companies. It offers insights into the data-driven transformation of the insurance industry and highlights areas for action. Dominik Loroch from the »High Performance Computing« division, together with two representatives of the GENERALI insurance company, will give a presentation entitled »Use (this Solvency II) Case! NASaaS trifft auf Least Squares Monte Carlo«.

»K« is the world's leading trade fair and leading business platform for the plastics and rubber industry. Here, representatives of industry and research from all over the world present innovative perspectives and solutions for the future. Our ITWM-colleague Dr. Joachim Jonuscheit from the department »Material Characterization and Testing« will represent us on site, at the Fraunhofer joint booth (hall 7.0, booth SC01). Terahertz measurement technology will be presented as a means of non-destructive testing and paint thickness measurement on plastics (pipes) and paints.

The interdisciplinary exchange of expertise between the TU Kaiserslautern and departments of the Fraunhofer ITWM will take place on November 4, 2022. The event is organized by the High Performance Center Simulation and Software Based Innovation.

The Car Body Painting Workshop and Exhibition will revolve around the topic of car body painting. Dr. Joachim Jonuscheit, deputy head of the department »Materials Characterization and Testing«, will be on site to present our exhibit on terahertz measurement technology for non-destructive inline coating thickness measurement. Early detection of a faulty painting process (too much or too little paint) avoids the cost-, time- and energy-intensive reworking of numerous bodies and thus makes an important contribution to sustainable production.
