On October 8, 2025, this symposium brought together current and former MAPEX members and scientists of their working groups in the Forum at Domshof in Bremen city center. We looked back at significant achievements, highlighted ongoing research activities and shared visions for the future. Selected projects from an idea competition showcased the pathways towards new research themes and collaborations. During a podium discussion, experts shared and discussed their visions about “The Next Decade: Strategies for Advancing Innovation in Materials and Processes”. </span><span lang="en" dir="ltr">After a day of scientific exploration, we invited the registered participants to join us for a boat cruise dinner, where we were treated to a unique blend of science and art, featuring a scientist's insights into the development of instrument strings and a special musical performance.</span></p> <p><a class="internal-link" href="t3://page?uid=72116" title="Öffnet internen Link in aktuellem Fenster">Symposium website including programme and speakers</a></p> Content content-589340 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 16:40:18 +0100 Particle-Based Materials Symposium https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/mapex/whats-new/events/mapex-symposia#c589340 <h5>"Processing of functional nanoparticles into higher-order structures"</h5> <p>The Particle-Based Materials Symposium took place on September 23 and 24, 2024, at the House of Science in Bremen. With 70 participants from across Germany and neighboring countries, the symposium successfully fulfilled its promise: bringing together scientists and engineers from different communities that share the goal of creating functionality in materials using particles. With this year’s focus on "processing of functional nanoparticles into higher-order structures" and an introduction to the MAPEX research landscape by Kurosch Rezwan, the symposium effectively connected to ongoing research at the University of Bremen. In addition to the excellent keynote presentations, there were 33 oral presentations delivered by scientists at various career levels, ranging from Ph.D. students to experienced professors. The poster session featured 23 posters, with three selected for the poster prize. A tour of the Schnoor quarter and a dinner at Ratskeller Bremen rounded out the program, giving participants ample time to explore the historic sights and network with each other. We look forward to the next Particle-Based Materials Symposium, which will be held at FAU Erlangen in 2025!</p> <p><a class="externalLink" href="https://www.uni-bremen.de/mapex/pbm2024" target="_blank" title="Öffnet externen Link in neuem Fenster">Detailed programme and list of speakers</a></p> Content news-34576 Fri, 24 May 2024 09:00:00 +0200 17th Early Career Researcher Workshop Scientific workshop with ECR presentations and PI talks. Get to know the scientists next door – live and in person on the campus of the University of Bremen

 

With the aim of “building bridges” across faculties and institutes we encourage early-career researchers to boost their careers through interdisciplinary exchange.

In the forthcoming workshop, scientific keynote presentations by invited MAPEX ECIs will pave the way for short scientific presentation (max. 10 min) and poster-sessions to allow open discussions and interdisciplinary networking between ECR peers. An additional highlight will be talks by two MAPEX PIs, giving insights to their scientific research as well as to their academic career paths.

 

After a day full of science and networking, the day will close with a social activity at the restaurant“zum Platzhirsch”, playing minigolf and having dinner. 

The workshop is a perfect platform for you if you would like to …

  • get in touch with ECR peers, build up your own network of experts,
  • learn from others from different disciplines and think outside the box,
  • open doors to other experts – become aware of the huge potential for mutual support that you can access on the short way,
  • develop ideas for cooperative and interdisciplinary research projects,
  • get to know how MAPEX can support your research and your scientific career path.

 

Call for contributions: Poster and flashlight presentations
Contributions from all parts of materials science-related topics are welcome. We explicitly encourage ECRs and master students to present the results of their projects or thesis. You can choose between a brief scientific lecture of your work (max. 10 min.) or a presentation of a scientific poster (incl. flashlight presentation) .
No matter if you choose for a lecture or a poster presentation, please send us an abstract via our online registration form.
