Looking back, moving forward – 10 Years of Collaboration in Materials Science and Technology

The Matena innovate! Center, an affiliated institute of the University of Bremen, is launching four new projects for up to three years with 1.5 million euros in funding. The goal is to apply excellent foundation research in materials science to marketable applications more quickly.

On May 22, 2025, MAPEX took part in the fair “Die Praxisbörse”. We informed interested students and young professionals about their perspectives in materials science at the University of Bremen – from sustainable mobility to space exploration.

Scientists from the marine and materials sciences impressed the German federal and state governments in the Excellence Strategy: Two Clusters of Excellence have been awarded to Bremen. This also qualifies the university to apply for the title of “University of Excellence.”

Journalist Christian Heinrich visited the newly founded MATENA innovate! Center at the University of Bremen. His report for the Joachim Herz Foundation shows how the transfer from research to application could be realized in an exemplary way at MATENA.

Scientist Lucia Sorrill performed at Science goes PUBlic in the Bremen Quarter on April 10, 2025 and presented battery research at the University of Bremen.
