Participants had the opportunity meeting alumni of the University of Bremen now working in industry. They got in touch with scientists and industry partners working on cooperation projects. The workshop provided know how to protect inventions and apply for a patent as well as know how to become a patent attorney as a scientist. Participants met with other early career researchers from the field of materials science and got to know Tim Stauch, newly appointed Professor for Theoretical Chemistry. The early career researchers had the chance getting in touch with peers, building up their own network of experts and learning from others. The workshop supported thinking out of the box, developing ideas for cooperative research projects and becoming aware of the huge potential for mutual support that can be accessed on the short way.</p> <p><br /> <a href="t3://file?uid=78881" target="_blank" title="Leitet Herunterladen der Datei ein">Detailed Programme</a></p> Content content-628518 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 16:39:56 +0100 https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/mapex/whats-new/events/mapex-workshops#c628518 <h5>“Building Bridges” across faculties and institutes</h5> <p>With multidisciplinary contributions from early career researchers , the 8th MAPEX Early Career Researchers Workshop aimed at flattening the existing borders between faculties and institutes even further . ​Taking place in Bremen, the one-day workshop hosted more than 40 guests from almost all parts of the MAPEX research landscape that encompasses the investigation of materials with numerous theoretical and applied methods as well as process- and production-oriented technologies.Taking place in Bremen, the one-day workshop hosted more than 40 guests from almost all parts of the MAPEX research landscape that encompasses the investigation of materials with numerous theoretical and applied methods as well as process- and production-oriented technologies .</p> <p>Early career researchers were given the opportunity to present their work to the audience in condensed flashlight-talks before explaining it in further detail during several extensive poster sessions.

Many prolific discussions arose in the coffee breaks and it is to expect that new scientific collaborations have resulted from this workshop.</p> <p>Finally , an impressive plenary lecture on advances in gear manufacturing held by Prof. Bernhard Karpuschewski concluded the workshop leaving no doubt about the high importance of materials science for today`s and tomorrows world.</p> <p><a href="https://www.uni-bremen.de/fileadmin/user_upload/sites/mapex/Documents/Veranstaltungen/8th_MAPEX_ECR_Workshop_Programme.pdf" target="_blank" title="Öffnet externen Link in neuem Fenster">Detailed programme</a></p> Content content-629058 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 16:39:56 +0100 https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/mapex/whats-new/events/mapex-workshops#c629058 <h5>"Science meets industry cooperation Projects and career path in(to) the industry"</h5> <p>MAPEX was the host of previous graduates from the University of Bremen for the 7<sup>th</sup> MAPEX Early Career Research workshop. These graduates are now members of industry and presented details of their current employment focusing on roles in their employment, current research, current projects, and new and emerging technologies driven by science and technology. These presentations revealed that graduates of MAPEX members are working worldwide and have become leading experts in areas such as metallurgy, corrosion, numerical analysis and simulations, metal printing, advanced cosmetics, extreme high precision machining and tooling.Apart from learning about these areas of their employment, the audience was entertained by fascinating stories involving personal career progression and how to achieve this success. Many stories discussed how the community here at the University of Bremen was their introduction to their current and previous positions. The more than 50 participants actively listened and asked many questions regarding research, employment, and life after leaving university. Please refer to the link below for the detailed programme as this details the list of presenters as their current affiliations.During the break time, detailed discussions with the presenters took place. Participants took great advantage of the time to ask further insight into professional and personal life beyond university life. Exchanges of business cards and ideas could be heard in all parts of the break room.In addition to the focus of this workshop, Charlotte Simmat and Wiltrud Hoffmann from the Bremen Business StartUp and Job Entry, presented the support services of the universities transfer unit such as BRIDGE and the job-oriented Mentoring-Programme “Fokus Berufseinstieg”. These paths detailed the possibilities of bringing current scientific research to industry via patenting and start-up possibilities (BRIDGE).

More than 40 experimental and computational scientists, master students as well as professors, met in the TAB building in order to get an overview about “Computational Materials Science in Bremen across multiple time and length scales”, as introduced by MAPEX speaker Lucio Colombi Ciacchi. The following eight speakers provided a comprehensive overview about their different fields of expertise, ranging from the simulation of electrons in 2D materials, electrons and atoms at interfaces over the structural prediction of biomolecules to the simulation of fluid processes and the calculation of crystal plasticity. Lively discussions during the lunch and coffee breaks demonstrated the huge potential for new ideas and collaborations.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.uni-bremen.de/bccms" target="_blank" title="Öffnet externen Link in neuem Fenster">Bremen Center for Computational Materials Science </a> </p> <p><a href="https://www.uni-bremen.de/fileadmin/user_upload/sites/mapex/Documents/Veranstaltungen/Programme_Methods_Workshop_II_final.pdf" target="_blank" title="Öffnet externen Link in neuem Fenster">Detailed Programme</a></p> Content content-629064 Thu, 05 Mar 2026 16:39:56 +0100 https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/mapex/whats-new/events/mapex-workshops#c629064 <h5>"Building bridges across the boarders defined by the faculties and institutes."</h5> <p>More than 40 young scientists from four faculties of the university met during the sixth edition of the MAPEX Early Career Researcher Workshop on 25 April 2018. The flashlight and keynote presentations provided a good basis for a lively interdisciplinary exchange between postdocs, PhD candidates, and master students during the poster sessions. Colleagues from the research services unit and the Bremen Early Career Researcher Development (BYRD) answered numerous questions regarding funding schemes for postdocs as well as the support of early-career researchers at the University of Bremen. With his plenary lecture on “Semiconductor nanostructures - smart probes for biological systems” Martin Eickhoff closed the official programme of the workshop. After a day full of scientific insights, some participants enjoyed a visit of the "Hafenrummel", testing their luck and skill on a course of fairground attractions of the 1950ies.</p> <p><a href="https://www.uni-bremen.de/fileadmin/user_upload/sites/mapex/Documents/Veranstaltungen/6th_MAPEX_ECR_Workshop_Programme.pdf" target="_blank" title="Öffnet externen Link in neuem Fenster">Detailed Programme</a></p> Content
