During the 20-month scholarship, the development and implementation of a student research project is the focus of activities. The topics are proposed independently by the scholarship holders and are interdisciplinary. During the research, the team members contribute their skills and continuously expand them.
The groups are encouraged to develop solutions independently. They are accompanied by supervisors (active or retired professors) and tutors, both professionally and personally. In the initial phase of the project work, a hypothesis underlying the chosen topic must be developed and tested with scientific methods. The team then derives ideas for implementation from the research results, which have high practical relevance. Throughout the entire time, the group members contribute their expertise and deepen it at workshops and seminars.
In doing so, they acquire further interdisciplinary competencies and strengthen their soft skills.

Membranes or Membrains?

Team Membrains want to analyze membrains in nature for selective filtering in health care.
Large parts of our ecosystem function through membranes and concentration gradients. In our developments, we are yet to take advantage of this. Under the title Membrains, we want to find new possible applications. In particular, we are looking at the so-called "salps". ‘At first glance, they seem like jellyfish, but they are not. Salps take in food by filtering it through a membrane. Special is, that they can control the pore size of their membrane, even though this may seem counterintuitive at first.Visit them at: https://www.ja.tum.de/ja/projekte/2022/membrains/.
