Bayreuth researcher develops high-performance digital system for tailoring polymers

18. July 2023

Polymers have become an indispensable part of everyday life. However, the current polymers represent only a small fraction of the huge number of polymers that theoretically exist. Prof. Dr. Christopher Kuenneth at the University of Bayreuth, Germany, together with research partners in Atlanta, USA, have now developed a digital system that promises extraordinarily high economical, technological and ecological benefits: from around 100 million theoretically possible polymers, their system can precisely select those materials that have an ideal property profile for targeted applications at unprecedented speed. The new system is presented in Nature Communications.

A new perspective in protein research

17. July 2023

The ordered areas of proteins are readily studied. Consequently, a great deal is known about the role of these areas in the biological function of the respective proteins. However, an international research team led by biochemist Prof. Dr Ute Hellmich has shown that disordered areas are also pivotal. Their comprehensive examination of the disordered area of a receptor channel protein has been published in the renowned scientific journal “Nature Communications.” The group demonstrated through eleven different methods how this area influences the function of the entire protein. Therefore, disordered protein areas should not be overlooked in research, even though they may not always be straightforward to investigate.

A flagship of digitization: Opening ceremony for the FIM Research Institute for Information Management

10. July 2023

The responsible institutions are the University of Bayreuth and the Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg: close cooperation in the future fields of digitization.

A world in which digital innovations are used responsibly both for individuals and for the economy and society as a whole – this is the goal and mission statement of the FIM Research Institute for Information Management, the opening ceremony for which was held at the University of Bayreuth on 7 July 2023.

The University of Bayreuth and the Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg have now become the responsible bodies for the research institute, as they recently signed in a joint cooperation agreement in Bayreuth. Thus, the history of the core research centre Finance & Information Management (FIM), founded in 2002, will now be continued on a new basis and brought forward into the future.

University of Bayreuth among the best young universities worldwide

3. July 2023

The prestigious, international THE Young University Ranking of “Universities under 50” places the University of Bayreuth among the top 10 percent worldwide. This is further proof of its high academic reputation.

THE Young University Ranking evaluates universities younger than 50 years in five categories: Teaching, Research, Impact of Research (citations), Internationality of Staff, Students and Researchers, and Knowledge Transfer to Industry. It has been published annually since 2012. The University of Bayreuth has been taking part since 2013 – and has firmly established itself in the upper field. This year, it is ranked 59th out of a total of 605 universities. This puts the University of Bayreuth in the top ten percent of young universities worldwide, and in third place in Germany.

University of Jena relies on European cooperation

3. July 2023

How does the university of the future look like? The Friedrich Schiller University Jena has answered this question for itself and relies on European cooperation and innovation. It has been a member of the EC2U Alliance, which was founded as part of the European University Initiative 2020, from the very beginning. Their goal is to create a European campus that connects science, civil society and stakeholders through a network of joint activities and increased mobility. The activities developed by the network of European city universities over the past 2.5 years convinced the European Commission to fund the EC2U Alliance for another four years with 14.4 million euros.
