Series of Talks »Blick über den Tellerrand«

Once every month, the Fraunhofer ITWM opens its doors and invites everyone who is interested to broaden their horizon. The interdisciplinary lecture series »Blick über den Tellerrand« of the Felix Klein Center for Mathematics presents different perspectives on a wide spectrum of topics in the area of science and technology.

Exciting experts from a wide range of fields will speak and discuss with the guests. Everyone is cordially invited and admission is free. The event will take place on site at the Fraunhofer Center and will also be broadcast virtually.

Blick über den Tellerrand (Thinking Outside the Box)

The hybrid talks are only available in German.

Blick über den Tellerrand in May 2024

»Our Exhausted Society – Solutions and Challenges in Sports Medicine and Digitalization«

Tuesday, May 7, 2024

5:00 – 6:30 PM

In our society, many people suffer from mental and lifestyle-related illnesses that often lead to severe exhaustion. Even with very good medical care, this reduces the quality of life of those affected. We use diagnostic procedures in sports medicine to objectify this lack of energy and put together individual treatment plans. We are developing digital assistance systems in interdisciplinary research groups so that these can then be effectively implemented in society – especially in regions with poor infrastructure.

 

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Dr. Perikles Simon (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Department of Sports Medicine, Prevention and Rehabilitation) 

Perikles Simon received his doctorate in human medicine from the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen in 2000 and his doctorate in behavioral and neurobiology from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia in 2004. He then worked in outpatient care, diagnostics and sports medicine consulting at the Department of Sports Medicine in Tübingen. In 2008, he was appointed professor at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, where he has headed the Department of Sports Medicine since 2009. His research focuses on the genetic prerequisites and molecular mechanisms of physical performance and its trainability. 

The event will be moderated by Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Küfer. He is the spokesperson of the Felix Klein Center for Mathematics and head of the division »Optimization« and the department »Optimization in the Life Sciences« at the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM.
