    Identification and manipulation of the physiological and psychological clocks of the lifespan (IMPULS) Life Science Technologies - Project funding programmes – CZS Breakthroughs

    Short description

    People of the same chronological age often differ greatly in biological age. The aim of the project is to better understand the causes of biological ageing and to be able to measure them as accurately as possible using biomarkers.

    iFEMA - Integral Research Energy for Electromobility: From Model to Application Resource efficiency - Project funding programmes – CZS Transfer

    Short description

    In the project, the energy supply of electromobility is considered holistically across all areas (distribution network, charging station, battery). The overall system is tested and optimized using a digital twin and in the laboratory.

    Ilmenau School of Green Electronics Resource efficiency - Large individual funding projects – CZS Individual funding

    Short description

    At the Ilmenau School of Green Electronics (ISGE), young scientists are working on green microelectronics in an interdisciplinary manner. This is not only sustainable and climate-neutral in operation, but also along the entire value chain and in the entire material cycle.

    Ilmkubator Lab - Sustainable anchoring of a FabLab as part of the start-up ecosystem at the TU Ilmenau STEM impulses - Small funding projects – CZS Impulse

    Short description

    With the funding of the Carl Zeiss Foundation, open rooms and workshops are being set up at the TU Ilmenau - so-called FabLabs. This is where people interested in setting up a business can produce and test their prototypes.

    Importance of ruminant nutrition for the health-related assessment of red meat STEM impulses - Individual funding programmes

    Short description

    The Prisma fund enables Prof. Dr. Katrin Giller, Professor of Molecular Nutritional Sciences at the University of Hohenheim, to carry out preliminary work for a human study on the health effects of red meat.

    In vitro human stem cell-based blood-brain-barrier platform to study drug delivery and neurological diseases (3D-hiPSC-BBB) STEM impulses - Individual funding programmes – CZS research boost

    Short description

    Prof. Dr. Ebru Ercan Herbst heads the “3D-iPSC-BBB” project at Reutlingen University. The aim is to develop a model for investigating the human blood-brain barrier based on artificially produced pluripotent stem cells.

    Infection Immunology STEM impulses - Individual funding programmes – CZS Endowed Professorships

    Short description

    Prof. Dr. Christina Zielinski has been appointed Endowed Professor of Infection Immunology at the University of Jena with effect from the summer semester of 2021.

    Intelligent agents in dialog (INAD) Artificial Intelligence - Individual funding programmes – CZS research boost

    Short description

    Prof. Dr. Pascal Laube is researching the use of dialog-oriented multi-agent systems in project management in the “Intelligent Agents in Dialogue” project at Furtwangen University. The aim is to optimize communication and resource allocation.

    Intelligent non-persistent polyethylene-like materials (INPEW) STEM impulses - Project funding programmes – CZS Perspectives

    Short description

    Whether and how are degradable materials possible? To clarify this question, research is being conducted into intelligent materials with embedded microphases that promote colonisation by microorganisms in water bodies and thus trigger their complete degradation.

    Interactive and Programmable Materials (IPROM) STEM impulses - Project funding programmes – CZS Breakthroughs

    Short description

    Novel technical materials are supposed to react to changing environmental conditions with a response previously programmed into the material itself. Like biological materials, they can thus adapt to changing environmental conditions.
