The International Office’s Welcome Center supports international researchers who come to HSBI. Thanks to the assistance provided by Maximilian Köster, Daniela Milanez Silva from São Paulo made it through the organisational jungle of offices, banks and telephone companies – and was thus able to quickly devote herself to her actual topic: the technical investigation of fungi used as natural pesticides.

She is creative, good at networking and has expertise in her special subject that only few early researchers have. Co-supervised by HSBI, the doctoral project submitted by Linda Muskat shows enormous potential. Her topic: How are insect pest control agents designed that are completely biodegradable? Her companion throughout the project: a fungus called Pandora.

Fachhochschule Bielefeld (Bielefeld UAS) has a new name. From now on, it will be called Hochschule Bielefeld – University of Applied Sciences and Arts, or HSBI for short. Its logo and corporate design will get a new look, too. The new URL will be hsbi.de. Enquiries to the old Internet or e-mail addresses will be forwarded automatically to the new addresses. On the day of the name change, HSBI’s President, Prof. Dr. Ingeborg Schramm-Wölk, answered the media’s questions.
