The festival “The Roofs” accompanies the multisport event “European Championships Munich 2022” with a diverse and free supporting program. In the “Technology Roof powered by Fraunhofer”, research can be experienced live. The Fraunhofer WKI will be demonstrating a stand-up paddleboard made from renewable raw materials. For the core of the lightweight sandwich element, the researchers use balsa wood from disused wind-energy rotor blades.

Since the beginning of the worldwide COVID 19 pandemic, the demand for mobile air purifiers has increased significantly. These are now increasingly used in a wide variety of public areas such as daycare centers, schools and government offices, but also in many companies and in private environments. The aim of air purification is to control inhalation exposure. At Fraunhofer WKI, we investigate air purification technologies and test regarding their efficiency in terms of filtering or inactivating viruses, health-critical gaseous compounds such as formaldehyde and other air. This webinar provides an overview of common air purification technologies, current approaches to efficiency testing, and use in real indoor environments.

Basic knowledge is imparted on the execution of bonding work for the manufacture of load-bearing timber components. A written examination can be taken. This can be used to prove successful participation in accordance with DIN 1052-10.
