Research for practice: First Science Night at Trier University on October 22, 2008

What are the future rules of the market when penguins, lemmings and chameleons rule the economy? How can computer programs use experience for the fire brigade or in the kitchen? How do we steer our attention in the information and media society today? How do we manage all of the knowledge and dictionaries in the digital world? What findings does environmental toxicology bring to practice? - Questions that are intended to attract guests and interested parties from the city and region to the first Science Night at the University of Trier.
