This means that the research network based at the University of Rostock will receive funding for a second funding period.
The DFG’s decision is a major success for Rostock as a center of science and recognizes the outstanding work carried out by the participating researchers over the past few years. The SFB investigates fundamental processes of light-matter interaction at interfaces, bringing together internationally renowned cutting-edge research from the fields of physics, chemistry, and materials science.
This extension not only reaffirms the consortium’s scientific excellence but also highlights the particular strength of the interdisciplinary research environment within the Department of Life, Light & Matter (LL&M). The SFB makes a significant contribution to the department’s international visibility, strengthens modern research infrastructures, and provides important impetus for the advancement of early-career researchers, collaborations, and innovative research in Rostock.
