Directly from the #construction site we present another member of the #lablausitz team. Jan Wörner has fundamentally dealt with numerous topics of civil engineering since 1979: with new materials such as #glass, plastics, #polyacrylonitrile – both as #components and #reinforcement -, with #structural dynamics and vibration absorbers as well as with risk-based, probabilistic safety concepts in particular new materials. As a former President of the Technical University of Darmstadt, Chairman of the Board of DLR – German Aerospace Center and Director General of the European Space Agency – ESA, Jan Wörner also has enormous experience in the management of large institutions, and always represented the approach of connecting #science , #economy and #society and was very successful in the various positions in directly supporting #business start-ups.
