This year’s Studium Generale is dedicated to the multifaceted theme of ‘Energy’. In their talk entitled ‘Fire – Unleashed Energy’, the speakers Jürgen Buil, Head of Training and Further Education at the Kleve Volunteer Fire Brigade, Prof. Dr Joachim van Alst, Honorary Professor at the Faculty of Life Sciences at Rhein-Waal University of Applied Sciences and Head of Anaesthesia at St Willibrord Hospital in Emmerich-Rees, and Heinz Lippe, Fire Safety and First Aid Officer at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, will continue the series of events on 28 November 2017 at 7.00 pm.
Using the devastating fire at London’s Grenfell Tower as an example, the speakers will clearly explain the energy released by a fire, the consequences this has for the building, and the toxicological and thermal effects on people.
The event will take place at the Kleve campus of Rhein-Waal University of Applied Sciences, Marie-Curie-Straße 1, Lecture Theatre Centre, ground floor, Room 01 EG 005 (Lecture Theatre 1).
The lecture is part of the Studium Generale programme and has been designed to make scientific knowledge accessible through talks that are easy to understand. The lecture programme is aimed at the general public, students, school pupils and those interested in science in the region, as well as at professors and staff at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, with a focus on general, universal education. The lecture series also offers a platform for lively exchange and discussion on current issues.
