Bioactive matter – technologies for sustainable production and a healthy environment of the future
On 24 March 2025, b-ACT matter hosted a one-day symposium focusing on new approaches to solving pressing social challenges such as resource scarcity, sustainable production processes and comprehensive environmental protection and monitoring. Together with representatives from science, industry and administration, the participants discussed how interdisciplinary research in the field of bioactive matter – with properties of living and biological organisms – can help to overcome these challenges and rapidly transfer innovative solutions into industrial applications.
Science communication: Research presented in an entertaining way
Bringing science to the public and communicating research content and arguments in an appealing way is an important qualification for scientists.
Selina Hanisch, a doctoral student in the BioMat working group at b-ACTmatter, presented her research work to the public in an entertaining way at two events in autumn.
