The infrastructure within the Sustainable Materials and Technologies research focus provides the foundation for applied research into sustainable materials, circular products, energy-efficient buildings and innovative energy systems. In state-of-the-art laboratories and research environments, interdisciplinary teams work on a wide range of challenges and research questions. The aim is to translate scientific knowledge into practical innovations and to strengthen knowledge transfer between academia, industry and society. The infrastructure supports both fundamental and applied research across the fields of the circular economy, bioeconomy, sustainable resource use and climate-friendly technologies.
