The Technische Universität Braunschweig (TU Braunschweig) is abuzz with news. The elenia Institute for High Voltage Technology and Energy Systems is celebrating its centennial, while two TU start-ups have won a prestigious prize. Meanwhile, a professor's successor remains unclear, and a young researcher receives a notable award.

The elenia Institute marks its 100th anniversary with a 'Festkolloquium elenia 100' on October 1 and 2. Despite its rich history, the identity of the predecessor to current director Prof. Christian Kehrt remains uncertain.

In other news, Jun.-Prof. Jana Raupbach has been recognised for her work on vegan alternative products. She received the Werner-Baltes Prize 2025 for her research on protein structure and digestion.

Two TU start-ups, LBR Engineering UG and Gaia Aerospace, have been honoured with the ThroughSTARTer Prize. The award recognises their innovative contributions to their respective fields.

The 39th Braunschweig Fire Protection Days, scheduled for September 30 to October 1, will focus on the risks associated with high-voltage storage and stationary battery systems.

The German Research Foundation has launched a new website to guide researchers on funding acknowledgements, streamlining the process for academic recognition.

As TU Braunschweig continues to foster innovation and excellence, the university community looks forward to the institute's anniversary celebration and the ongoing achievements of its students and faculty.
