Cooperations with the Max Planck Society

By continuing the »Pact for Research and Innovation«, the participating research organizations have renewed their commitment to the government to take further steps to enhance Germany’s status as a leading scientific nation. One of these measures aims to bridge the gap between basic and applied research by improving cooperation between the institutes of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and those of the Max Planck Society. Since the initiative was launched, a whole series of research projects have been evaluated and approved by internal and independent experts.

Current projects:

• "RICIMER" Roman Inspired Cement Innovation by Multi-analytical Enhanced Research
• "MaxwellSuits" Ultra-lightweight Exosuits powered by Maxwell-stress-driven Soft Actuators
• "SAPs4Tissue" Self-assembling biologically active peptide nanofibrils for the biomimetic design of functional cell niches in human tissue models
• "MaRS" Critical materials lean Magnets by Recycling and Substitution
• "SMARTIES" SMART Integrated Electronic Sensors for quantifying atmospheric transport and mixing
• "CONDOR" Superconducting spintronic devices for cryogenic electronics
• "OptoQuant" CMOS-integrated, micro-optoelectronic room-tem perature quantum-sensing for high-sensitivity magnetic field imaging
• "iFRS" Interferometry-based field-resolved spectroscopy
• "NEONHET" Novel electrosynthesis for safe and sustainable access to technically relevant nitrogen heterocycles
• "TritiumStopp" Permeation-tight coating systems as tritium barriers in fusion applications
• "SYNTHIA" Synthetic cells for the production of affordable and accessible cell therapies
• "GENIUS" 'Anode-free' sodium-ion battery for high energy densities
• "ELYDIA" – Plant-based Endolysins for infectious disease treatment
