15.10.2026 – Kurzer Overshoot, lange Folgen?

Tessa Möller vom International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (Laxenburg, Österreich) spricht über die Auswirkungen eines (temporären) Überschreitens des 1,5°C-Ziels auf Kipp elemente und den Meeresspiegelanstieg handeln.

22.10.2026 – A Synthetic Odyssey through Concepts of Organometallic Molecular Activation

Alexandre Vasseur (Université Lorraine) will expose the role of heterobimetallic species, in which two metal centers cooperate in concert to modulate reactivity and selectivity will be explained. This approach provides access to regio-, chemo-, stereo-, and even divergent behaviors that remain unattainable with classical monometallic species. In this context, particular emphasis is placed on one-pot strategies for building multiple carboncarbon bonds.

29.10.2026 – Handling Uncertainty for Better-Informed Decision-Making

The talk by Christian Wagner (University of Nottingham) will focus on modelling and handling of uncertain data arising from heterogeneous data sources including domain experts and other stakeholders, with a particular emphasis on designing interpretable and interactive AI based decision support systems.

05.11.2026 – Using Viral Pseudotypes for Pandemic Preparedness

The talk by Nigel Temperton (University of Kent) will focus on emerging/re-emerging and transboundary viruses and the methods for their control, in particular by vaccination induced antibody responses and small molecule and mAb therapeutics. For this purpose, a new approach using harmless “pseudotype” virus mimics for many high-containment viruses (influenza, coronavirus, rabies, ebola) using repurposed retroviral and lentiviral vector technologies will be presented.

12.10.2026 – Dynamische Resonanzen in Bildern – verborgene Muster im Chaos

Guenda Palmirotta (Universität Paderborn) zeigt auf, wie verschiedene mathematische Theorien verwendet werden um komplexe Zusammenhänge, Muster und Strukturen innerhalb mathematischer Objekte und Systeme zu erklären, zu beschreiben und zu organisieren.

Summary

Generated with the help of AI.

A cycle of lectures featuring Luxembourgish researchers working abroad, hosted at the national library. The series spans five sessions across October and November, with each researcher presenting their scientific work to a general audience. Topics include climate tipping elements and sea level rise, organometallic molecular activation, modelling uncertain data for decision-making, viral pseudotypes for pandemic preparedness, and dynamic resonances in mathematical imagery. Online booking is required via the reservation platform, indicating a ticketed event with limited seating.
