About the Program
Funktionswerkstoffe (Functional Materials) are essential in daily life: they are found in phones, MP3 players, LED/LCD TVs, game consoles, contact lenses, and implants. They convert light into electricity (solar cells) or electricity into light (LED), change smartphone screen views, trigger airbags (g-sensors), act as light valves (LCD TVs), or detect substances in blood (medical rapid tests). Functional materials are key technologies of the 21st century, providing solutions for challenges in health, transport, energy, communication, environment, and society. The program combines chemistry, physics, medicine, mathematics, and engineering sciences. Besides the University of Würzburg, the Technical University of Würzburg-Schweinfurt, the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research, the Center for Applied Energy Research, and the South German Plastics Center participate in the education. The program offers numerous practical exercises and opportunities for international exchange.
