„Engineered Living Materials“ (ELM) is rapidly growing as a new scientific discipline at the intersection of materials sciences, synthetic biology and biotechnology. ELMs change the paradigm of how materials are produced, applied and disposed of. ELMs rely on genetic programming of living organisms to achieve self-growing materials with complex functions. They provide innovation in construction and packaging materials and textiles, as integrated sensors and actuators, fuel cells or as smart drug depots. ELMs are on the science policy agenda in the U.S. with substantial funding fuelling ongoing innovations. Similarly, key innovations are coming from China and the UK. However, despite strong competences in underlying disciplines, ELMs are largely terra incognita in the German scientific landscape. This workshop for early career scientists aims at initiating an ELM community in Germany, by accelerating interdisciplinary training and exchange among doctoral researchers and early postdocs in materials and life sciences, and by supporting direct implementation of innovative projects in the field. The early career scientists will acquire complementary skills in ELM-specific research principles and techniques, they will enjoy seminar talks from invited international experts in the field, and they will receive feedback from experts to their own research ideas as well as career plans in a highly innovative field. With these skills, feedback, experience, and networking the participants will be optimally prepared to develop and perform innovative research on ELMs.

“生物工程材料”(ELM)作为材料科学、合成生物学和生物技术的交叉学科正在迅速发展。榆树改变了材料的生产、应用和处置方式。榆树依靠活生物体的遗传编程来实现具有复杂功能的自我生长材料。它们在建筑、包装材料和纺织品方面提供创新，作为集成传感器和执行器、燃料电池或智能药库。榆树在美国的科学政策议程上，有大量的资金推动着正在进行的创新。同样，中国和英国也在进行关键创新。然而，尽管榆树在基础学科方面拥有强大的能力，但在德国的科学版图中，榆树在很大程度上是隐姓埋名的。这一针对早期职业科学家的研讨会旨在通过加速材料和生命科学方面的博士研究人员和早期博士后之间的跨学科培训和交流，以及支持该领域创新项目的直接实施，在德国发起ELM社区。早期的职业科学家将获得专门针对榆树的研究原理和技术方面的互补技能，他们将参加该领域特邀国际专家的研讨会演讲，他们将收到专家对他们自己的研究想法的反馈以及在一个高度创新的领域的职业规划。有了这些技能、反馈、经验和网络，参与者将为开发和执行关于榆树的创新研究做好最佳准备。
