The INM \u2013 Leibniz Institute for New Materials, located on the campus of Saarland University, will continue to receive base funding from the federal and state governments for another seven years. Between 2025 and 2031, the institute will receive approximately 145 million euros. An international expert commission had previously attested to the institute\u2019s outstanding structural and scientific development. Based on this evaluation, the Joint Science Conference (GWK) of the federal and state governments approved the continued funding of the INM on May 21st.
J\u00fcrgen Barke, Saarland\u2019s Minister for Economic Affairs and Innovation, comments: “This commitment of such substantial financial resources underscores the excellence of our research landscape. With its outstanding research, the INM \u2013 Leibniz Institute for New Materials makes a vital contribution to the economic transformation of our region. I look forward to the institute\u2019s continued success in driving innovation and growth.”
The INM conducts both fundamental and applied research in materials science. It develops sustainable materials with novel functionalities that can be used, for example, in biomedicine or digital applications. In its statement, the Leibniz Senate praised the strategic foresight of the Saarbr\u00fccken-based research institute in selecting its research topics.
Professors Ar\u00e1nzazu del Campo and Wilfried Weber, scientific Directors of the INM, see their course confirmed: \u201cOur scientific excellence forms the foundation for developing sustainable solutions to key societal and technological challenges.\u201d
The INM is one of several non-university research institutions located on the campus of Saarland University. It has been a member of the Leibniz Association since January 1, 1999, and currently employs around 240 staff members from 37 countries. The annual funding of just over 20 million euros is provided through the Joint Initiative for Research and Innovation of the federal and state governments, with Saarland contributing approximately 37.5%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
