Project overview

Prof. Dr. Julia Berger, Professor of Applied Midwifery at Furtwangen University, uses AR-animated applications with interactive elements to improve the understanding of physiological and pathological processes during childbirth.

Prof. Dr. Jan Andre Millemann, Professor of Digitalization and Digital Marketing at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences, wants to survey subconscious decision-making processes (biofeedback) of test subjects in the digital space at an early stage of product development.

An environmentally friendly removal of oxygen atoms from organic compounds is being researched for the use of electricity to convert substances into valuable products. The aim is to avoid the electrolytic evolution of hydrogen.

Prof. Dr. Julius Jara Munoz, professor of engineering geology, rock engineering and hydrogeology at Biberach University of Applied Sciences, is researching mechanisms that control earthquakes along the Pacific Rim over millennia in the TANTA project.

Prof. Dr. Daniel Möller, Professor of Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics at the EAH Jena, wants to optimize ventilation systems in terms of aerodynamics, aeroacoustics and thermodynamics. This will improve energy efficiency and increase acoustic comfort.

Together with the city and university of Jena, Carl Zeiss AG and the Ernst Abbe Foundation, the Carl Zeiss Foundation established the German Optical Museum Foundation. The director of the museum holds a CZS endowed professorship for the history of physics.

The Carl Zeiss Foundation supports 150 German scholarships at a total of 20 universities in Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate and Thuringia, thus creating scope for young scientists in STEM subjects.

Scholarships for young scientists to participate in an international network meeting, where they meet top-class award winners from their field. The focus is on interdisciplinary exchange and mutual inspiration.

HYMMS investigates the interaction between two different types of chirality with the aim of combining the stability of chiral magnetic structures and the manipulability of chiral molecules. Among other things, this could lead to the development of more efficient data storage devices.

Prof. Dr. Lena Keller, Professor of Oenology and Process Engineering at the HS Kaiserslautern Wine Campus Neustadt, is researching antibacterial and antifungal natural substances from and for grapevines (Vitis vinifera) in the project.
