Du er skabt af stjernestøv. Det er den planet, du står på, også. Så længe der har været tid, er der også dannet støv, planeter og stjerner – og det fortsætter. På denne stand kan du observere støv- og gaståger på sydhimlen online med vores FUT-teleskop i Australien, få dit helt eget billede sendt pr. e-mail og klappe et stjerneskud. Oplev, hvordan astrofysikere forsker i laboratoriet og på computeren, og undersøg dine helt egne molekyler.

Tovholdere: Karin Vittrup, Ole J. Knudsen, Hans Kjeldsen, Bjørk Hammer, Liv Hornekær og studerende fra Stellar Astrophysics Centre og Centre for Interstellar Catalysis
Forskningsområde: Fysik og astronomi

Forskningscenteret Recreational Fear Lab er verdens eneste horrorforskningslaboratorium. Her forskes i den 'rekreative frygt', altså menneskets tendens til at lege med frygt – når vi ser gyserfilm, leger fangeleg, kravler højt op i træer, tager i rutsjebane eller dyrker true crime. Forskning fra centeret tyder på, at den rekreative frygt faktisk kan være sund for os. Kom og hør, hvordan man forsker i gys og gru, og få målt din egen frygt, mens du spiller et gyserspil.

InformPack is a European project co-funded by EIT Food that explores the cross-cultural variations among consumers regarding awareness, information gaps, issues and attitudes towards food packaging. We use these findings to design actions, tools, and strategies that can influence public behaviour and future solutions. At our stand, you can learn about the importance of food packaging and how to face the most common questions regarding sorting and disposal of it with tips and tricks that will make your life easier, as we face important changes and challenges in the coming years. Games, quizzes and interesting knowledge exchange are guaranteed to make you re-think: How well do you know your trash?

Coordinators: Geraldine Vásquez, Søren Valsøe Hansen from Department of Food Science

Experience virtual reality and learn about how such technology can be used in education and industrial training. Get first-hand experience in how novel technology allows the user to experience objects in VR through not only the visual environment, but also the feeling of texture and temperature. Furthermore, those that feel confident in their fine motor skills can try their luck on a VR version of the classical buzz wire task, where the objective is to move a loop across a wire without touching it!

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine in February 2022, the healthcare medical system has been broken. For example, the supply of medicines to the Kharkiv region was interrupted completely in the first months of spring 2022. This resulted in a large deficit of urgently needed drugs, such as antiepileptic drugs for seizure control and methylprednisolone for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) relapses. I carried out on-line surveys with repeated consultations among patients with epilepsy during this period. At this stand, you can learn about the results of this research.
