Past Events

To coincide with the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center 1411 entering its fourth year, we held a 2-day International Symposium from 20-21 March 2023. The event brought together researchers from around the world to showcase the latest progress in the targeted design of particulate products supp...

Every two years the doors of academic institutions, public offices and industry in the Nuremberg-Fürth-Erlangen metropolitan area swing open for one evening only for the Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften (literally "Long Night of Science and Learning") event. It's an opportunity for everyone living in ...

From 4-6 October 2021, the Erlangen-based Collaborative Research Centre 1411 organised an international online workshop on continuous particle synthesis and product design. Continuous particle synthesis is of key importance for the understanding and scalable fabrication of complex particulate produc...

After 16 months of online seminars, workshops, project meetings and even poster sessions, from 19-21 July 2021 researchers of CRC 1411 gathered for the largest in person event since the kick-off meeting. As a follow-up to the successful online review meeting in June 2021, a poster session was held i...

From 21-22 June 2021 almost 50 researchers, including CRC 1411 PIs, doctoral and postdoctoral researchers and our Mercator fellows and external advisors, met online to review the status of the subprojects and collaborative activities. The main part of the meeting comprised a series of 15 minute talk...

On 10-11 May 2021, university lecturers, industry representatives and students gathered online for the workshop “Particle Technology and Product Design Education – A Digital Leap Forward”. The workshop was organized jointly by the Collaborative Research Center 1411 "Design of Particulate Products"...

In the afternoon of 12 February 2021, the annual Poster Session and Awards Ceremony of the Elite Masters Programme in Advanced Materials and Processes (MAP) took place. Due to the SARS-CoV2 pandemic this event, usually one of the social highlights of the MAP calendar, moved online for the very first...
