Research

MAPEX has shaped and inspired research and innovation in materials and processes in Bremen for more than ten years. At the symposium, we look back at its significant achievements, highlight ongoing research activities and share visions for its future.

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.”

Accelerating research to market readiness – this is the goal of the first “innovate! Center”. Three pilot projects will develop sustainable solutions for technological challenges starting in 2025. The Joachim Herz Foundation will provide up to 30 million euros of financing for the endeavor.

The MAPEX Postcard Edition 2023 in the picture presents selected highlights from the research of MAPEX members.

The MAPEX Center for Materials and Processes invites Early Career Researchers and MAPEX members to apply for research grants.

In addition to their scientific education, we support doctoral candidates in acquiring the skills and competencies they need for the successful completion of their doctorate and for later management tasks in science or industry.
