Munich Quantum Valley is working to develop competitive quantum computing in Bavaria. It enables researchers to share expertise across disciplines, provides educational opportunities for young scientists, and partners with industry to translate research into practice.
How will the future labor market look and are European education systems endowing the next generation with the skills they will need to succeed? These questions are at the heart of a new research project at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt.
Scientists, along with students, are developing new concepts for the use of digital media in education.
Children have become increasingly inactive over the past two decades, as shown by a long-term study involving 3,500 schoolchildren in Austria. Professor Dr Jan Wilke, a sports scientist at the University of Bayreuth, was involved in the project. He and his colleagues are calling for an expansion of sports activities, particularly in schools, as a way to reduce future strain on the healthcare system.
Researchers across Europe have joined forces under the coordination of a team from the University of Passau to investigate persistent conspiracy beliefs. The researchers hope to gain new insights into how democracies can be made more resistant to conspiracy theories.
The faculty is now AACSB-accredited. Only around six percent of all business schools worldwide achieve this. This makes THI the first university of applied sciences in Bavaria to complete the process successfully.
A subject-integrated reading promotion program developed at the University of Regensburg for use in Bavarian elementary schools will soon be implemented in Norway.
Parents and upbringing play a major role in determining how often children lie. This behavior can be positively influenced with simple measures. This is shown by a new study by economists from Würzburg, Bonn and Oxford.
The creative thinking ability of 15-year-olds in Germany corresponds to the OECD average. That is a further result of the latest PISA study. The analysis shows that creative thinking skills closely correlate to results in the core competencies in mathematics, reading and the natural sciences.
Young people in Germany are less proficient in mathematics, reading and science as compared to 2018. This is revealed in the new PISA study. Around one third of the 15-year-olds tested achieved only a very low level of proficiency in at least one of the three subjects. The results confirmed a downward trend already in evidence in the preceding PISA studies. The mathematics and reading scores of German students are only at OECD average levels. They remain above that level only in natural sciences.
