Materials Science and Engineering Congress 2026
MSE is the largest conference on materials research and technology in Germany. As in previous years, we are co-organizers of Symposium C03: Tribology: Understanding Mechanisms of Friction and Wear Across Scales and Disciplines. The deadline for abstracts is January 30, 2026!
Innovative screw connections
The project "Laserauftragsschweißen von Funktionsschichten aus Formgedächtnislegierungen" aims to develop an innovative bolted joint that compensates for temperature-related setting losses. It is co-financed by the European Union and offers a sustainable and cost-efficient solution.
Sustainable metallurgy
Our three-year doctoral program, in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute and the Ruhr University Bochum, focuses on the development of carbon-free and sustainable metallurgy. The interdisciplinary projects bring together experts from materials science, physics, chemistry and engineering.
