    Establishment of a Serious Games Lab (SGL) with a focus on "Senior Health Games" (SHG). Artificial Intelligence - Project funding programmes – CZS Transfer

    Short description

    In the Serious Game Lab, therapeutic games for seniors are developed and analyzed. In addition to providing information, patients are motivated to repeat exercises through games.

    Fluorescent Nanodiamonds for Ultrasensitive Viral Diagnostics (Ultrasens-Vir) Life Science Technologies - Project funding programmes – CZS Breakthroughs

    Short description

    The Ultrasens-Vir project is researching new methods for the diagnosis of viral diseases. The aim is to develop a new diagnostic method based on the application of fluorescent nanodiamonds.

    Functional and metabolic brain imaging Life Science Technologies - Individual funding programmes – CZS Young talent programme

    Short description

    Prof. Dr. Kristina Herfert has been appointed Junior Professor for Functional and Metabolic Brain Imaging at the University of Tübingen for the summer semester 2021.

    Functionalisation of smart materials under multi-field requirements for transport infrastructure Resource efficiency - Project funding programmes – CZS Breakthroughs

    Short description

    Research is being conducted into the development of an intelligent "concrete 2.0" that is adaptive and multifunctional as a high-performance material and thus meets the increasing demands on performance and availability in transport infrastructure.

    Funding of the German Optical Museum STEM impulses - Large individual funding projects – CZS Individual funding

    Short description

    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.

    Genetic determinants of organismal resilience (TrichoScreen) Life Science Technologies - Individual funding programmes – CZS research boost

    Short description

    Prof. Dr. Florian Heigwer, Professor of Synthetic Biotechnology at the Bingen University of Technology, is investigating how genes and signaling pathways regulate the resistance of organisms to environmental influences.

    German Scholarships STEM impulses - Individual funding programmes – CZS German scholarships

    Short description

    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.

    Halocycles − Halogen cycles as important contributions to the stabilization of the power grid and the defossilization of the future industrial society Resource efficiency - Project funding programmes – CZS Breakthroughs

    Short description

    In a circular economy, organic halogen compounds such as Teflon are to be converted electrochemically into new materials and thus recycled. By using surplus electricity, the flexible process could help stabilize the power grid.

    Heidelberg Laureate Forum – Funding for Young Researchers 2024−2027 STEM impulses - Small funding projects – CZS Individual funding

    Short description

    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.

    High-performance anode materials for resource-saving Na-ion batteries based on lignin and hemicellulose from hardwood and softwood waste Resource efficiency - Project funding programmes – CZS Transfer

    Short description

    Sodium-ion batteries are considered a sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries. The carbon electrodes they contain can be obtained from wood waste. Their natural fluctuations are to be eliminated using a new digestion process.
