PhD network MetRaZymes receives funding as Marie Skłodowska-Curie action

TU Darmstadt coordinates the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Network “Metal-Containing Radical Enzymes – MetRaZymes” under the leadership of Professor Nico Bruns from the Department of Chemistry. The project, funded by the EU, Switzerland and the UK with more than three million euros, will enable 13 PhD students to develop novel enzymes as environmentally friendly and efficient catalysts for radical reactions to produce drugs, polymers and other chemical compounds.

Unite! Winter School at TU Darmstadt for researchers

The Graduate School Energy Science and Engineering of TU Darmstadt invites you from 6 to 8 December 2022 to the Unite! Winter School “Sustainable and Resilient Energy for Europe?!”. The Winter School is aimed at doctoral students, postdocs, practising engineers and researchers from the fields of energy systems, energy policy and energy economics. It will cover scientific and technical aspects of the production and use of carbon-free and sustainable energy storage systems, such as hydrogen and iron, as well as socio-economic aspects, such as the multi-level governance of hydrogen strategies. Participants will gain insights into current challenges and approaches to solutions in an energy landscape that is changing daily. The Winter School will take place as a hybrid event. Participation is free of charge. Free hotel accommodation is provided for 20 applicants from Unite! universities. Registration is open until 15 November 2022.

Joint project PUMA supports the energy transition

Powerful magnets can be used for effective cooling, heat and power generation. They make a decisive contribution to the energy transition. A consortium led by the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) is therefore researching new magnetic materials that are efficient and environmentally compatible. Partners in the PUMA project are the Technical University of Darmstadt and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR). The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding PUMA with two million euros for four years starting in October.

Zukunftsszenarien des Forschungsfeldes Energy and Environment

In Europa, Deutschland und Hessen stand bisher russisches Gas für Versorgungssicherheit – diese Gewissheit ist Geschichte. Wie sieht die Zukunft der Energieversorgung aus und welche Rolle nimmt die Wissenschaft bei der andauernden Transformation ein? Wissenschaft liefert Antworten. Das Forschungsfeld Energy and Environment (E+E) der TU Darmstadt hat ein Bild der Energieversorgung im Jahr 2050 auf vier kurzen Seiten skizziert. Das Bild spiegelt die heutige Forschung von 100 Professor:innen, 1.000 Promovierenden und viel mehr Studierenden für die Welt von morgen.
