Im Rahmen des Workshops »Wasser und Gesundheit. Abwasserbasierte Epidemiologie« wurden am 20. Juni 2022 in Erfurt aktuelle Erkenntnisse und Zwischenergebnisse aus dem Pilotprojekt »SARS-CoV-2-Abwassermonitoring in Thüringen« (CoMoTH) präsentiert. Dabei wurde deutlich, dass die Konzentration des Virus im Abwasser weiterhin hoch ist und die über die Gesundheitsämter registrierten Infektionszahlen, die Realität momentan nicht abbilden.

Works by no less than three students of Visual Communication, Faculty of Art and Design, were chosen among the 29 best posters in the competition, which was held under the motto »Campus life digital«. Hanyi Kim took second place with her poster »Studying at Home«. Further awards went to Leela Dutta for »Behind the Scenes« and Hannes Naumann with his poster »In the Window«.
