But what is a university school? Why is Potsdam-Golm the right place?…

About half of the displays used in smartphones today use OLEDs. In Potsdam Science Park, Dr. Christine Boeffel is working on further improving the printing processes for these fascinating light-emitting diodes. She is dedicating her research to improving precisely this printing process for the production of OLEDs.

Since 2015, Prof. Dr. Alexander Böker has been Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP and at the same time the Chair of Polymer Materials and Polymer Technology. A short portrait of an institute director whose scientists are researching, among other things, materials for a more sustainable world.

His research has been published in over 550 articles and his work has been awarded more than 35 prizes. Without doubt, Prof. Dr. Peter H. Seeberger is one of the most distinguished chemists in Germany. An interview with the man who has headed the “Biomolecular Systems” department at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and…

Micha Wijesingha Ahchige, PhD student at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology (MPI-MP), dedicates his plant research to a future in which all people have enough food. He is especially interested in the ability of crop plants such as tomatoes to deal with different environmental conditions. Learn what else he likes about being…

LEA proteins are still a mystery in plant science, which is why Orarat Ginsawaeng is taking a closer look at their functions at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology (MPI-MP). Hear about her research and thoughts on the Potsdam Science Park in her interview.
