Opening of 'ADAM SANDLER, ADAM SANDLER' in Cologne

Tomorrow, March 27, the art exhibition of Joshua Bienko will open its doors. Come and see this wonderful show - Aib Bonn will be there, will you?

Adam Sandler, Adam Sandler is a show inspired by the will to stare down the realities of war, oppression and dehumanization with near tragic, near comic lyricism. The young artists has been an inspiration for the AIB students and goes far beyond only teaching how to draw, but shows how drawing can be seen as a life lesson, to find out more about the own self and to explore who you really are. Or want to be. Or need to become. All at the same time. Bienkos Vernissage at the Labor Ebertplatz on March 27 promises to be a worthy experience for his audience

Workshop of AIB with Fachhochschule Köln students

This week is really exciting for the Pennsylvania State University students currently residing at the AIB - they are working on a project in cooperation with German students from the FH Cologne on 'CHANGING MOBILITY: COLOGNE NEUMARKT AS A E-MOBILITY HUB'

Led by their lecturers Prof. Jochen Siegemund, Johannes Böttger and Thomas Knüvener students have been participating in workshop this week at both the AIB and FH Cologne, advancing their skills and pooling knowledge and experience in this unique, international working group.

Visiting BAYER in Leverkusen

This Wednesday, the Texas A&M Biosciences group went on a field trip to Bayer in Leverkusen:

Visiting BayKomm was an interesting and interactive way to learn about the ongoing developments and functions of the company. Being able to physically manipulate proteins in 3-D, and drive car simulators enabled all of the students to learn about the scope of Bayer's research and development, as well as the initiatives within the company. Engaging visuals and charts informed us of the issues and problems that Bayer scientists are currently addressing through its divisions in human and animal health, crop science, and materials science. The process and market of drug development surrounds us all everyday, even when we don't notice it. It was a very good experience and very informative.
