This event is in German only!

Two years after the launch of the Graduate Cluster, we look back on the collaborations that have shaped our work: AUFBRUCH, its PhD students, and partners in the Rhenish mining area and beyond. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and we would like to demonstrate how interdisciplinary collaboration can drive (structural) change.

Alongside selected keynote talks, our six innovation areas will present how they are addressing the pressing challenges of our time.

Take this opportunity to network with our cluster and our PhD students.

AUFBRUCH’s innovation areas are:

Innovation area 1: Industrial decarbonisation through bio-based process chains, using the example of the chemo- and biocatalytic conversion of carbohydrate-rich waste streams into ethylene and propylene glycol

Innovation area 2: Flexible utilisation of new raw material potential, using the example of recycling concepts for rubber

Innovation area 3: Increased efficiency through integrated process concepts, using the immobilisation of biocatalysts for modular production plants as an example

Innovation area 4: “Survival of the Innovation” through risk minimisation in scale-up, using the chemoenzymatic synthesis of bioplastics and chiral fine chemicals as an example

Innovation area 5: Smart logistics for a (de)centralised bioeconomy, using the example of the synthesis of novel carboxylic acid esters from domestic biomass for the formulation of green plasticisers and lubricants

Innovation area 6: Overcoming barriers to market entry, using the example of new biosurfactants
