Week 41: INSIGHTS, water and flashchips

Weekly Wrap-up: Our topics in calendar week 41.

You are currently reading our very first Weekly Wrap-up! When we gave the blog a new design, we created this new category, among other things. At the end of each week, we look back on the past few days together and summarize the most important events.

• We launched our new blog.
• You received the second issue of our INSIGHTS newsletter and are now informed about all important updates regarding HI, HU and the startup scene: This year, HI has celebrated its 20th anniversary, the startup factory UNITE has received an initial funding of 20 million Euro and much more.
• Winter term 2025/2026 has started. This autumn, 7,860 freshmen begin to study at Humboldt University.
• On our blog, we published an interview with HU researcher Dr. Tolga Wagner as part of our HI:STORIES series. Also, we crafted a new HI:BITS with 10 facts about water (2025’s topic of the Forum Junge Spitzenforschung).
• The Humboldt-Store has started a raffle to which you can register until October 20, 2025. The prize is a backpack from the store.
