Active control of the surface properties of implants (AKTIO) Life Science Technologies, Transfer - Project funding programmes – CZS Transfer

Short description

In order to achieve better healing of implants, the project is researching the active control of implant surfaces. Switchable macromolecules are used for this purpose depending on the phases of wound healing.

Adsorption heat storage for the commercial heat transition Resource efficiency, Transfer - Project funding programmes – CZS Transfer

Short description

The aim of the project is to develop an adsorption heat storage system that can store regenerative heat and provide temperatures above 100 °C, as required in the commercial and service sectors, for example.

AI-based digital twin (KIDZ) Artificial Intelligence, Transfer - Project funding programmes – CZS Transfer

Short description

The project objective is to design an AI-based, self-learning digital twin that automatically adapts to changing system conditions and simulates the production process and product life cycle as realistically as possible.

Annual network meetings of the Vice Presidents for Transfer (2025-2027) Transfer - Small funding projects – CZS Individual funding

Short description

The annual networking meetings of the Vice Presidents for Research and Transfer in Berlin are intended to help strengthen the successful transfer of scientific findings into economic innovations. The Stifterverband organizes the network meetings.

Artificial intelligence for sustainable quality assurance of fresh food Artificial Intelligence, Transfer - Project funding programmes – CZS Transfer

Short description

The AI project team at Mannheim University of Applied Sciences (THM) is researching the combination of bio-sensors with AI algorithms to reliably monitor the freshness of food in retail stores in real time.

Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence (ZAKI) Artificial Intelligence, Transfer - Project funding programmes – CZS Individual funding

Short description

The Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence (ZAKI) at Ernst Abbe University connects actors from science, business and society. The aim is to advance artificial intelligence in these areas and, above all, to put it into practice.

Closed loop manufacturing of precision components in small series based on machine learning using high-frequency fine-granular process data (PräziLoop) Artificial Intelligence, Transfer - Project funding programmes – CZS Transfer

Short description

The team at Furtwangen University is researching intelligent machine control in closed production cycles. The machine independently makes adjustments after each component and improves the quality of the manufactured parts.

Complex three-dimensional biomimetic sensor and organoid networks to yield functional data of the intestinal barrier (OriDarmi) Life Science Technologies, Transfer - Project funding programmes – CZS Transfer

Short description

In the OriDarmi project, methods are being developed to study the physiological processes in intestinal wall-like cell assemblies in order to better understand the influence of drugs, food components, microorganisms or disease-causing substances on the intestine.

Continuous improvement and evidence-based assessment of gait in musculoskeletal pathologies using an AI-assisted sensor system exemplified by peroneal paresis (OrthoKI) Life Science Technologies, Transfer - Project funding programmes – CZS Transfer

Short description

OrthoKI is researching an orthotic fitting optimized with AI methods. The sensor-based splint attached to the foot is intended to optimize the therapy of patients with foot dorsiflexion whose ability to walk is limited.
