A great honour for four students from Leibniz University Hannover: the junior researchers are presenting their work at the German parliament. The exhibition brings projects from students across Germany to the Paul Löbe building in Berlin. It aims to highlight the contribution that even very young researchers can make in addressing current societal and political issues. The call for submissions was directed specifically at bachelor’s students who have done research on current societal issues at the beginning of their studies. Four of the 44 projects on display are from LUH students. The poster exhibition at the Paul Löbe building runs until 17 July 2026 and is open to members of the public.
The presentations, from 28 universities across Germany, show fascinating projects covering diverse topics – including health, digital transformation, society and education, as well as energy and sustainability. The research projects from the LUH students also cover a broad range of subjects.
In her project, “Wanting children despite the climate crisis?”, geography graduate Ellen Reßmann looked at the impact of climate-related fears on individuals’ desire to have children. In a survey of young adults, she collected and analysed very interesting results on the topic.
Moritz Lampkemeyer, a student at the Institute of Sports Science, examined how the cardiovascular system reacts to heat, physical stress and additional vascular stress. His poster is titled, “When the heart doesn’t deliver what the body needs: Undersupply as a result of heat stress and physical activity”.
Süheyla Fidan Yilmaz’s project, carried out at the Institute of Assembly Technology, deals with robots in the deep sea. In her project, “Robots in the deep sea – Developing a cable-driven segmented arm”, she developed a more efficient and environmentally friendly approach for designing deep-sea robotics.
“The transformation of clouds – What changing cloud patterns mean for our climate” is the title of meteorology student Julia Lüdemann’s project. She looked at how reduced and altered cloud cover impacts precipitation patterns, extreme weather and warming.
A jury selected the projects from a large number of submissions. The opening event at the end of June gave the young researchers the opportunity to discuss their topics with MPs, guests and other students.
