What's UniSysCat all about?

The “innovate! lab gGmbH”, which is funded by the Joachim Herz Foundation with 5 million euros, gives a new boost to the transfer of cutting-edge research into practice.

Thanks to the DAAD Hilde-Domin program, Najiba Azemi from Afghanistan can do her doctorate in the UniSysCat working group of Juri Rappsilber where she works on anti-cancer medication.

The two scientists Rhea Machado and Javier Silva have had a stellar career at UniSysCat and have now been interviewed by CHEManager magazine about their startup Porelio.

UniSysCat speaker Juri Rappsilber calls for the renewal of university teaching in a recent blog post. His credo: “University means shaping”. Excellence clusters could lead the way.

Helmut Schwarz, emeritus professor of TU Berlin and former UniCat member, was honored with the 17th "BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award" in the basic sciences. UniSysCat congratulates very warmly.

This year's Clara Immerwahr Award Ceremony will be complemented by a festive symposium for the first time. The events take place on April 10 and 11, guests are very welcome to join!

UniSysCat group leader Beatriz Roldán Cuenya from FHI Berlin was interviewed by the Spanish newspaper “El País” about her research into new catalysts and her commitment to the energy transition.

A study involving five UniSysCat groups sheds light on the assembly of the Fe(CN)2CO fragment of [NiFe]-hydrogenase using sophisticated experimental and theoretical methods - a masterpiece of interdisciplinary collaboration.

Helmut Schwarz receives the prestigious Wolf Prize for Chemistry for solving fundamental problems in catalysis. We warmly congratulate the former member of our predecessor cluster UniCat.

What are the Berlin Clusters of Excellence actually researching? To find this out, from now on, we monthly invite you to a pub quiz at the fahimi bar in Kreuzberg!
