On 7 January 2026, the CultCryo ERC project team will kick off the new year with a three-day workshop. From 7 to 9 January, the Paderborn working group, led by Prof. Dr. Suzana Alpsancar, will invite the entire ERC team to East Westphalia for the annual project workshop. The workshop aims to create synergy through the four major case studies of the ERC team (food, air conditioning, biomedicine, computing). This workshop will focus on data centres, their growing importance in a networked world and the associated cooling requirements. Accordingly, excursions to the UPB's supercomputers ‘Noctua 2’ and “Otus” as well as to the ‘green data centre’ of VegaSystems GmbH & Co. KG are on the agenda.
This workshop will be the third major face-to-face meeting, following the kick-off workshop in Essen and the summer workshop in Darmstadt. Over 25 participants from Darmstadt, Essen, Hamburg, Halle and Canberra/Australia are expected to attend.
