FLAIR
Integrated Research Training Group "Junior FLAIR" (MGK)
The Integrated Research Training Group (MGK) aims at the education and training of a new multidisciplinary generation of functional oxide researchers in Germany and qualifying the doctoral researchers for their future careers in academia and industry. The overall features of the MGK include interdisciplinary coaching in Materials Science, Physical Chemistry, Material Synthesis, Characterization and Modeling of Functional Oxides, development of professional career skills and integration in modern project and data management. Measures to ensure these features are implemented within a diverse multi-level qualification program concerning both scientific and professional skills and a well-thought supervision concept for doctoral researchers and post-doctoral support.

FLAIR at EMRS Spring Meeting 2025
June 03, 2025
FLAIRistas Present Latest Advances of the CRC
A large number of FLAIR members participated in the E-MRS Spring Meeting 2025, which took place in Strasbourg, France from May 26 to May 30. The team, together with Mercator Fellows Elizabeth Dickey (Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh) and Emre Erdem (Sabanci University, Istanbul), presented and thoroughly discussed their latest achievements with a broad international community of materials scientists focused on electroceramics. Most contributions were part of Symposium N: “Advanced Doping Strategies, Defect States, and Electronic Structure of Functional Oxides”, which was supported by FLAIR and organized by Anke Weidenkaff, Jurij Koruza, and Marc Widenmeyer. Additionally, FLAIR-related research was featured in other symposia, covering topics such as next-generation solar technologies, ferroic materials and heterostructures, solid-state ionics, anion-controlled inorganic materials and mixed-anion systems, as well as computational materials science.
