CHEMISTRY Research in Germany www.research-in-germany.org Research in Germany Imprint Published by: German Research Foundation (DFG), Bonn, Germany Editor: Vera Pfister Assistant Editor: Temura Züll Contact: [email protected] Sources: DFG, Fraunhofer Society, Helmholtz Association, Leibniz Association, Max Planck Society, Federal Ministry of Education and Research Graphic Design: KLINKEBIEL GmbH Kommunikationsdesign, www.klinkebiel.com Printed by: DCM Druckcenter Meckenheim GmbH, www.druckcenter.de Cover Photo Credits: iStock.com ® nicolas_ © DFG, March 2019 This publication was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. CHEMISTRY PREFACE Germany has a long-standing tradition of excellence in chemistry education and research. This brochure provides an insight into research in Germany in the field of chemistry and is especially recommended to early career researchers from abroad. Chemical research in Germany is primarily conducted at universities but also at non-university research institutions. Almost all universities and many universities of applied sciences host a chemical research section. The spectrum ranges from small monothematic working groups to large interdisciplinary departments and covers a variety of topics from traditional areas to new explorative research fields. This brochure is intended to give an initial overview.The following map and tables highlight research consortia and graduate training programmes at universities and non-university research institutes with a main focus on chemical research. On top of this, there is a lot more to discover: e.g. the DFG funds a multitude of individual projects in chemical research. These individual grants outweigh the research consortia both in number and in overall funding volume. Towards the end of this brochure, you will find a link to the online database GEPRIS that provides an overview of all DFG funded research projects. You will also find additional important links for further information about programmes in the field of chemistry and profiles of German universities and research institutions. We invite you to explore the many opportunities that Germany has to offer and welcome your feedback. > 4 5 < OVERVIEW Kiel Warnemünde Greifswald Rostock Hamburg Oldenburg Bremen Berlin Hannover Braunschweig Potsdam Frankfurt/ Magdeburg Oder Münster Dortmund Oberhausen Bochum Göttingen Halle/Saale Essen Mülheim Leipzig Düsseldorf Schmallenberg Dresden Jena Hermsdorf Aachen Gießen Frankfurt/Main Mainz Darmstadt Bayreuth Helmholtz Graduate Schools Würzburg Leibniz Graduate Schools Kaiserslautern Erlangen Heidelberg Nuremberg International Max Planck Saarbrücken Bönnigheim Research Training Groups Research Schools Karlsruhe Schwäbisch Gmünd Regensburg Pfi nztal International Research Training Groups Fraunhofer Institutes Stuttgart Integrated Research Training Groups in Helmholtz Centres Denkendorf Collaborative Research Centres/Transregios Tübingen Leibniz Institutes Ulm Freising Clusters of Excellence Max Planck Institutes Freiburg Collaborative Research Centres/Transregios Others Munich Konstanz DFG funded Priority Programmes and Research Units are not shown on the map since they are not necessarily located at a single location; they are listed on pages 15 and 17. > 6 7 < CENTRES OF RESEARCH CENTRES OF RESEARCH Location Institution Title Funded Since Contact - FUNDED BY DFG- CLUSTERS OF EXCELLENCE Rheinisch- The Fuel Science Center 2019 tba Aachen Westfälische – Adaptive Conversion Clusters of Excellence (EXC) promote cutting-edge research.

    FRAUNHOFER INSTITUTE FOR RELIABILITY UND MICROINTEGRATION IZ M TECHNICAL ARTICLE TECHNICAL ARTICLE AUTHOR: DR.-ING. MATHIAS BÖTTCHER January 9, 2020 || page 1 | 3 IoT Systems for SMEs The cooperative initiative “Universal Sensor Platform” (USeP) is vivid proof of how effective project work can pay off in research and development. Scientists from several Fraunhofer Institutes contribute their specialist expertise to create a platform for innovative, highly integrated, and individually customizable IoT systems tailored to meet the practical requirements of small and medium-sized enterprises. The contribution of Fraunhofer IZM lies in the development of a sustainable and economical packaging technology for these systems. In partnership with the fellow Fraunhofer Institutes IIS, EAS, and IPMS and the industry partner GLOBALFOUNDRIES and supported with funding from the European Regional Development Fund and the Free State of Saxony, the project is using its resources to produce immediate results of real value for industrial applications. Sensry, the spin-off launched by the project partners, is set to ready and provide the resulting platform for SMEs. The Internet of Things is opening new avenues for innovative applications and business models and increasingly making its way into all aspects of modern commercial and private life and society at large. To stay competitive, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) need to keep up and include more and more IoT capabilities into their products, services, and applications to enable physical and virtual products and devices to communicate and work together through the power of novel information and communication technology. Advanced sensors and actuators are also being retrofitted to established systems to capture different object types, states, and functionalities.
