The new Ecological Forecasting programme, starting in Winter Semester 2026/27, is a unique offering geared towards students who want to model, understand and actively shape ecological change.  The aim of the programme is to train a new generation of scientific leaders who can develop and critically evaluate robust, data-informed forecasts.

In 2026, the University of Bayreuth will be part of the major floating science exhibition on the MS Wissenschaft, which sets sail from Berlin on 7 May and will visit cities in Germany, Austria and Poland. Under the theme ‘Medicine of the Future’, the exhibition ship will demonstrate how research today is helping to rethink healthcare. The University of Bayreuth will be represented with its own exhibition: mosquitoes as disease vectors in the context of climate change, biodiversity and planetary health.

With the Bavarian cabinet’s recent decision to extend the mobile phone ban in schools, the debate on how to handle smartphones in educational settings is intensifying. Researchers at the University of Bayreuth are demonstrating in the Erasmus+ project “FOCUS – FOstering Competence for Use of Smartphones” that bans alone are not enough. What is needed are didactic concepts that integrate digital devices in a meaningful and learning‑enhancing way.
