As part of the #Circular_economy_in_focus! event, 18 representatives from Saxon research institutions presented their technologies for a sustainable circular economy. b-ACT^matter was there with the topics #DNA_Origami for novel biosensors, living hybrid systems / #photobioreactors for climate-neutral production of proteins for animal feed and polymers and enzymatic #plastic_recycling. The projects will be shown in schools as part of a poster exhibition “Circular economy in Saxony from the perspective of research and science” organised by the #Sächsische_Agentur_für_Strukturentwicklung together with the Saxon_State_Ministry_for_Regional_Development (SMR). In this way, we can hopefully get the next generation excited about technologies for a circular economy and give them a bit of courage that the challenges of climate change can be overcome.

With our vision of a “Living Transfer Center”, in which bioactive and biomimetic materials and technologies are developed towards application and, above all, the transfer is lived by the team, we took part in the final pitches of the “science on stage” ideas competition in the #WeissbuchForschungSachsen project. Inspiring impulses for the further development of Saxony as a research location. 18 project teams from #UniversitiesSN, BA Saxony and #ResearchSN participated. For more information, click here.

Dr. Ronny Frank’s team has developed a method to accelerate the artificial evolution of plastic-degrading #enzymes to turn plastic waste into a raw material that prevents CO² emissions and microplastics.
