Das Thema sexueller Missbrauch von Minderjährigen in der katholischen Kirche hat heftige Debatten ausgelöst. Wesentliche Fragen waren allerdings bislang offen. Vor diesem Hintergrund hat das Erzbistum Paderborn die Universität Paderborn bereits im vergangenen Jahr mit einer historischen Studie beauftragt.

Prof. Dr. Hendrik Schmitz hat seit 2014 an der Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaften der Universität Paderborn die Professur für Statistik und Quantitative Methoden der Empirischen Wirtschaftsforschung inne. Schwerpunkte der Forschung liegen im Bereich der angewandten Mikroökonometrie, u. a. in der Gesundheitsökonomik. Valentin Schiele ist Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter im Bereich Statistik und Quantitative Methoden der Empirischen Wirtschaftsforschung.
Eine schwere Erkrankung oder Verletzung führt im Durchschnitt zu ähnlichen geistigen Einbu-ßen wie eine Alterung um vier Jahre. Zu diesen Ergebnissen kommen Prof. Dr. Hendrik Schmitz vom Department Economics der Universität Paderborn und sein wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter Valentin Schiele in ihrer aktuellen Studie in Kooperation mit dem RWI – Leibniz-Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung. Dazu wurden Befragungen und Kognitionstests von rund 125.000…
The German Research Foundation (DFG) and its French partner organisation, the French national research agency (ANR), are funding a new project led by Paderborn chemist Professor Matthias Bauer for a period of three years.
A communication network based on the laws of quantum physics offers guaranteed protection by ensuring complete security against eavesdropping. That is the aim of the joint research project known as “Quantenrepeater.Link” (Quantum Repeater.Link, or QR.X). The project will receive three years of support from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), totalling around EUR 35 million.

Mitigating climate change while simultaneously improving economic performance – this is currently one of the biggest challenges many companies are facing. Lightweight construction is considered a key technology for achieving this goal, in particular in the mobility sector.
Data analysis made easy: The aim of an intelligent chatbot, developed within the scope of a research project at Paderborn University, is to allow users to evaluate large data volumes quickly and easily.

Cameras, radar, lidar, ultrasound – modern cars have an increasing number of sensors. They assist with parking, monitor blind spots, and help you keep your distance from the car in front. In autonomous vehicles, these sensors must go beyond just providing convenient assistance, and also reliably capture the entire environment. However, differing weather conditions pose huge challenges for the technology. For example, strong background light,…
Scientists from Paderborn University, Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences and the Aachen-Maastricht Institute for Biobased Materials (AMIBM) are researching new environmentally-friendly plastic products based on lactic acid.
