8th MAPEX Early Career Researchers Workshop

“Building Bridges” across faculties and institutes

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.Takingplace 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 .

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. The program was complemented by a supportive session about different funding possibilities for scientific projects and an introduction to the do's and don'ts of open-access publishing provided by the State Library. Many prolific discussions arose in the coffee breaks and it is to expect that new scientific collaborations have resulted from this workshop.

Finally , an impressive plenary lecture on advances in gear manufacturing held by Prof. BernhardKarpuschewski concluded the workshop leaving no doubt about the high importance of materials science for today`s and tomorrows world.

MAPEX Methods Workshop III

"Mechanical Materials Testing"

Mechanical Materials Testing Thethird edition of MAPEX Methods Workshop took place on 13th of February , 2019, having "mechanical characterization techniques " as its main focus . Around 40 PhD students , postdocs and MAPEX members gathered to discuss about the testing capacities available at the University of Bremen. The workshop starts with a brief lecture from Prof. Brigitte Clausen on the basics of mechanical testing . Afterwards , nine speakers gave the audience an overview of the available methods , ranging from mechanical tests with in-situ microstructural monitoring , micro / nano-scale tests and specific characterization techniques for metals , fibers , composites , adhesive joints , as well as multilayer structures like computer boards . This time, the workshop also counted with the presence of an external speaker , Dr. Henry Ovri from Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, who reported about the nano mechanical test facilities of his institute . In general , the workshop was a great opportunity for researchers to exchange experiences and learn about

different mechanical test techniques , which may lead to future collaborations .
