The webinar “Antifouling” is an intensive training program that explains the basics of surface damage caused by biofouling and presents various approaches to reducing it. The basic knowledge of surface degradation is taught and participants learn about biological, physical and chemical coating systems for surface protection. Formulators, chemists, technical service and sales and marketing staff from raw material suppliers in the maritime sector will expand their specialist knowledge of antifouling for their daily work. All further information on this two-hour webinar in German can be found here.

Was bedeutet die MDR für das Inverkehrbringen von Aufbereitungsprodukten und die Validierung von Aufbereitungsprozessen? Die Verordnung (EU) 2017/745 über Medizinprodukte und die verstärkte Kontrolle der Hersteller durch die benannten Stellen und zuständigen Landesbehörden führt in Tateinheit mit der novellierten DIN EN ISO 17664-1 und -2 zu erhöhten Anforderungen an die Hersteller von Medizinprodukten, aber auch zu Unsicherheiten bei der Umsetzung. In diesem Seminar wollen wir sowohl die regulatorischen Aspekte inkl. klinischer Bewertung und Risikomanagement von wiederverwendbaren Medizinprodukten beleuchten, als auch fachliche hygienisch-mikrobiologische Hintergründe vermitteln, sodass die Teilnehmer in die Lage versetzt werden, die Anforderungen zu verstehen und praktisch umzusetzen.

The Lower Saxony office of the Maritime Cluster Northern Germany (MCN) is organizing an excursion to Norderney together with the ZIM Antifouling Network, EurA AG and the Biofouling Research Station of Dr. Brill + Partner GmbH Institute for Antifouling and Biocorrosion as part of the GreenShipping Lower Saxony project. The trip will take place from August 29 to 30, 2024. The excursion offers experts from the ZIM Antifouling Network and all interested parties the opportunity to experience the results of various antifouling technologies and measures as well as the associated test methods directly in the laboratories and outdoor test rigs of the Dr. Brill + Partner GmbH Institute for Antifouling and Biocorrosion research station. In addition to a guided tour of the station, the program also includes specialist Presentations on the current status of environmentally friendly antifouling solutions and international regulations on biofouling management. An integrated workshop will also deal with current topics such as "Quo vadis anti-fouling", "Biocide-free in fresh waters" and "Washing areas for marinas" using the LSP method and will provide space to critically examine and discuss the topics.

The Senator for Economics, Ports and Transformation of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, together with Bremen University of Applied Sciences, the Maritime Cluster Northern Germany and other partners, is once again hosting a maritime expert forum with national and international speakers in 2024.
