University of Bayreuth drives research for an improved circular economy

30. June 2023

Prof. Dr. Christoph Helbig, Chair of Ecological Resource Technology at the University of Bayreuth, is investigating framework conditions and measures for the circular economy on an international level in his latest project, using the example of electronics and electric vehicle batteries. The goal is to come up with concrete proposals for a more efficient and environmentally friendly circular economy.

Sustainability – solution or part of the problem?

26. June 2023

Sustainability is currently a highly important social topic. When talking about the climate crisis, global inequalities or access to education, sustainable thinking and acting seems to be the ubiquitous solution to the problems., Dr. Karsten Gäbler and Prof. Dr. Uwe Hoßfeld from the University of Jena focus on whether there is a magic formula behind the term or a marketing tool in a publication that has just appeared. Together, the two scientists published the brochure “Sustainability”, which is aimed at the general public, on behalf of the Thuringia State Center for Civic Education.

New institute coming to Jena

21. June 2023

Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (Helmholtz Centre for Materials and Energy, HZB) will jointly establish the “Helmholtz Institute for Polymers in Energy Applications” (HIPOLE) on 1 July 2023. The aim of HIPOLE is to develop sustainable polymer materials for energy technologies that can be rapidly brought into application, in particular polymer-based batteries and perovskite solar cells with polymer additives. HIPOLE will be funded with up to 5.5 million euros per year by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF, 90%) and the Free State of Thuringia (10%). In the start-up phase until 2028, the Free State of Thuringia will additionally fund the new institute with more than ten million euros and take over the financing of the construction costs for the laboratories and offices.

New robotic platform for antibiotics search

15. June 2023

The combination of size, level of automation and flexibility of the new robotics platform at the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology (Leibniz-HKI) makes it unique in Germany in the academic field. The highly modular system is used by the institute to accelerate the discovery of new antibiotics. It was established together with the company Analytik Jena GmbH+Co. KG and inaugurated on June 15, 2023 in the presence of State Secretary Katja Böhler.

When light meets an atom

6. June 2023

When light hits matter, the interactions depend primarily on the material and the intensity of the light source – a flashlight merely illuminates a stone, while a high-powered laser can burn a hole in it. Such interactions are well known and well described. However, a precise scientific description of the interaction has not yet been achieved for many systems in which light hits nanostructures or atomically thin layers or when the light intensity is extremely high. Since 2019, the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1375 “NOA – Nonlinear Optics down to Atomic Scales” at the University of Jena, Germany has been working on the development of such theories and their practical implementation. The CRC has met with success, as evidenced by the continued funding of the large-scale research project by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The research funding organization has now approved around eleven million euros to support research on light-matter interactions in Jena and at partner institutions for a further four years beginning 1 July, 2023.

Far ahead of the international competition in sustainability: The University of Bayreuth in the new THE Impact Ranking

1. June 2023

The University of Bayreuth has made a significant leap forward in global university comparisons when it comes to implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In the new Impact Ranking 2023 published by Times Higher Education (THE), it is now listed among the top 25 percent in the world. In the “Innovation” category, it is once again among the top 10 percent, although the total number of ranked universities was increased this year by almost 200 universities to 1,591. The University of Bayreuth is fourth place among the German universities listed by THE, and in the category “Sustainable Cities and Communities” it ranks first in a nationwide comparison.
