IQ Innovation Prize Magdeburg “Otto von Guericke Award”
The current winner of the IQ Innovation Prize Magdeburg "Otto von Guericke Award" is the Chair of Thermodynamics and Combustion (LTV) at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg. CDS member Prof. Dr. Frank Beyrau, Prof. Dr. Eckehard Specht, and Alexey Kropman were honored for the development of a novel reactor that prepares CO2-intensive industries for climate targets.
Chemistry in the cycle
A chemical industry that does not use fossil raw materials would avoid greenhouse gas emissions and waste. A circular economy in chemical production could achieve this goal. At the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg, scientists are supporting this transformation with numerous projects.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Frank Beyrau is new CDS member
By decision of the Board of Directors, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Frank Beyrau was accepted as a new member of the Research Center Dynamic Systems (CDS).
New solutions for green chemistry
The international research team FOR 5730 "Customized Deep Eutectic Solvents for Biocatalysis - DESMOL2PRO," with the participation of Otto von Guericke University, is seeking new approaches for the environmentally and climate-friendly transformation of the chemical industry. Nine teams from Germany, Austria, and Croatia will jointly investigate how so-called deep eutectic solvents (DES) affect enzymes in biocatalytic reactions.
Top Publication by Florentin Hildebrandt and Marlin Ulmer Released
For the third time, a publication by members of the Faculty of Economics at the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg appears in the top journal "Management Science" (VHB rating "A+").
Interdisciplinary and international: MAPBio symposium in Magdeburg
Researchers from all over the world met in Magdeburg from May 5 to 7, 2025, for the international MAPBio Symposium to discuss pathophysiological processes at physiological barriers.
With passion for process engineering and diversity in research
CDS member Dr. Nicole Vorhauer-Huget works since 2018 with her research group at the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg.
Using microwaves for the energy transition
CDS member Dr.-Ing. Nicole Vorhauer-Huget from the Institute of Process and Systems Engineering at the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg and her research group focus on making energy-intensive production processes more efficient and environmentally friendly, significantly reducing the enormous consumption of fossil fuels and the associated CO2 emissions.
