The regular application deadline for the winter semester 2025/26 at Paderborn University ends on Sunday, 21 September. However, for those interested in studying at short notice, there is still the opportunity to apply for admission-free degree programmes until 15 October.
The "Orientation in Studying" series of the state universities in OWL will take place from 15 October 2025 to 21 January 2026 and offers students an online lecture every fortnight with impulses for study-related questions, doubts or requests for change.
In this special feature, we present a selection of current projects, interdisciplinary research and forward-looking ideas with which Paderborn University is actively contributing to the energy transition.

The decarbonisation of industrial process heat is one of the major challenges of the energy transition. In industry, however, a significant proportion of the energy required is covered by fossil fuels, while only a small proportion of the energy used is recovered. This is where the joint project "HeatTransPlan" comes in.
After four years of intensive research, the Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio 318 "Constructing Explainability" is taking stock at the end of the first DFG funding phase.

It is often not a lack of talent, but a non-academic family background that prevents young people from realising their opportunities to study. In OWL, talent scouts have been working in 55 cooperation schools since 2017 to break down these educational barriers and support talented young people on their way. Now 17 more schools from the region have been included in the programme.
