The environmental science research focuses on spatio-temporal landscape dynamics of abiotic and biotic factors under consideration of socio-economic influences, which lead to the derivation of recommendations for action for the adaptation of landscape development and land use to transformation processes. On this basis, innovative engineering solutions are developed for sustainable water use, water recycling and the provision of regenerative products and energies. Materials chemistry is dedicated to the production, modification and characterization of functional and biofunctional polymer materials as well as advanced inorganic materials for energy conversion and storage. The unique selling point of biotechnology is based on the fusion of competencies from biotechnology, chemistry, medical, environmental and information technology into new and unique technology platforms.
