12th DGAW Scientific Congress

On 9 and 10 March, the 12th Science Congress on Waste and Resource Management of the German Waste Management Association (DGAW) took place at the Technical University of Hamburg. The hosts, Prof. Kerstin Kuchta from the Institute of Circular Resource and Management (CREM) at TU Hamburg and Prof. Rüdiger Siechau from Stadtreinigung Hamburg, welcomed around 160 participants from Germany and Austria to the TU Hamburg campus. The congress is specifically aimed at young scientists.

In 20 lectures and 50 poster presentations, young researchers were able to present the latest results from their completed master’s theses and current dissertations. ‘Young people in particular are engaged in research with visionary and innovative questions and approaches, thereby making an important contribution to social development. Promoting young science is crucial to solving the global challenges ahead, especially in the areas of resources, recycling and climate protection,’ says Kuchta. The congress serves as a forum for the exchange of science and practice and promotes networking.
