FEMS EUROMAT 2023 – What are the latest trends in materials science?


From 03.09.2023 – 07.09.2023, four scientists from the Chair of WOT had the opportunity to present their current research results at the largest international conference for materials science and technology, FEMS EUROMAT 2023. Together with colleagues from the Chair of Materials Science and Engineering, they were able to participate in selected contributions from more than 1,000 lectures and 400 poster contributions and to network with other researchers from all over the world.

Materials science and technology are essential research areas for mastering the current and future challenges of this world: How can materials with enhanced property profiles be produced? How can this production be made energy-efficient? How can we integrate materials into a circular economy? At this year's FEMS EUROMAT 2023 in Frankfurt am Main, scientists presented their current research results on these questions in eight different areas. Four scientific staff members of the WOT professorship also made concrete contributions to this with their research topics. This led to lively discussions with international researchers, which were inspiring for our young researchers. Networking between researchers is particularly important in order to share knowledge and experience. According to the conference motto: network, learn and grow. In addition to the scientific programme, this motto could be lived out at the social events. For example, there was the opportunity to visit the Frankfurt Observatory and be fascinated by the infinity of space.

After four days full of materials science and new impressions, the young scientists can now use the inspiration they have gained in their future research to answer the questions they were asked at the beginning. The conference organised by the DGM was a complete success for all participants and the joy is great when it is said in two years: We are going to the FEMS EUROMAT 2025 in Granada, Spain.
