On 14.03.23 the kick-off event for the new lecture series "Safe implants for the future" of the Transregio Collaborative Research Center SIIRI took place at NIFE. The event is aimed particularly at the interested public as well as clinicians and scientists and aims to explain complex scientific relationships in an understandable way. Prof. Dr. Meike Stiesch explained to the audience what medicine can learn from aviation, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Zimmermann explained ion mobility spectrometry to the participants in a clear and understandable way and finally Prof. Dr.-phil. Christoph Klimmt explained to the audience why good communication is important in patient care. After the lectures, the participants had the opportunity to ask questions and exchange ideas with the experts. Finally, the participants were given the opportunity to experience research "live and hands-on" during a laboratory tour. Overall, the first event of this lecture series was a complete success and successfully contributed to bringing implant research closer to a broad audience and raising awareness of the importance of this complex field of research. We are looking forward to the follow-up event to be held on March 21, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. in Lecture Hall P of the Dental, Oral and Maxillofacial Clinic of the Medical School on the topic: "Modern from head to toe: How we improve your care with innovative concepts!" and to which we cordially invite you already now.
