Research Center Dynamic Systems (CDS)

The Research Center Dynamic Systems (CDS) is a central scientific institution at the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg according to the university law of Saxony-Anhalt. The CDS unites research groups from engineering, systems theory, mathematics, medicine and biology. Scientists from seven faculties of the Otto-von-Guericke University and from the Max Planck Institute work together closely and interdisciplinarily in order to achieve the jointly set goals.
Involved are:

• Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
• Faculty of Computer Science
• Faculty of Natural Sciences
• Faculty of Process and Systems Engineering
• Faculty of Mathematics
• Faculty of Economics and Management
• Faculty of Medicine
• Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems Magdeburg

The aim of the CDS is to gain a basic understanding of complex dynamic systems in biomedicine, chemical production systems and energy conversion processes. This understanding can be used for the precise manipulation of observed systems or for the development of new processes and active substances. Mathematical models and methods are an essential connecting link in the work of the CDS. The current intentions for the further development of the CDS are to prepare and support the fundamental structural change of the chemical industry in Saxony-Anhalt coming in the next years.

The SmartProSys research cluster was developed out of the CDS and is concerned with the sustainable production of chemicals. 

The CDS is funded by the State of Saxony-Anhalt within the framework of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
