Symposium 2025

MAPEX Anniversary Symposium

10 years of collaboration in Materials Science and Technology

MAPEX has shaped and inspired research and innovation in materials and processes in Bremen for more than ten years. This symposium brings together current and former MAPEX members and scientists of their working groups.

Looking back, moving forward

We look back at its significant achievements, highlight ongoing research activities and share visions for its future. Selected projects from our idea competition will showcase the pathways towards new research themes and collaborations. During a podium discussion, experts will share and discuss their visions about “The Next Decade: Strategies for Advancing Innovation in Materials and Processes”.

Celebrate with us

After a day of scientific exploration, we invite our first 50 registered participants to join us for a boat cruise dinner, where we'll be treated to a unique blend of science and art, featuring a scientist's insights into the development of instrument strings and a special musical performance. Please register for the program and the dinner no later than August 31, 2025.
