It's that time of year again: Fraunhofer IWKS invites the international community of resource chemistry to the ICRC - International Conference on Resource Chemistry for the second time. The aim of the conference is to discuss current developments in resource chemistry. In times of increasing pressure on business and politics regarding environmental protection and climate change, materials science and chemistry must work together to find answers to some of the world's most challenging technological challenges.

The Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) is an established technology for electrolysis and fuel cells. The use of PEM stacks is growing, and they will increasingly become subject to recycling in the coming years, as they contain valuable raw materials (such as precious metals) and parts, which can be reused. Where does the industry currently stand regarding stack recycling? Which possible business models exist? What challenges need to be tackled and overcome? What needs to happen when? Where is government support needed? Discuss with experts and your peers!

From April 22 to 26, LEA Hessen will once again be organizing a joint Hessian stand at the Hannover Messe in the Hydrogen + Fuel Cells EUROPE exhibition area via the State Hydrogen Agency. Hesse's concentrated power in this sector will once again be represented at Europe's leading trade fair in the field of hydrogen and fuel cell technology.

Time and time again, multidisciplinary research is touted as essential to innovation. That is why, from April 22-26, 2024, researchers working in seemingly unrelated fields will gather in Seattle, Washington to promote, share and discuss issues and developments across disciplines at the 2024 MRS Spring Meeting & Exhibit.

With more than 110,000 m² of exhibition space, ACHEMA is the home for the entire technology and service spectrum of the process industry. As a globally unique showcase of the latest trends in the industry, it offers hands-on technology and worldwide networking. Let yourself be inspired and feel the heartbeat of the industry!

Europe's leading event for electronics recycling will take place in Frankfurt am Main from June 26 to 27, 2024. You are welcome to visit us at our stand.

Dr. Iliya Radulov, Project Manager Energymaterials at Fraunhofer IWKS invites together with Leibniz Institut for Materials Engineering to the symposium "Innovative Approaches for Sustainable Material Recycling: Advancing Circular Economy Principles" at Materials Science Conference MSE2024.

National and international exhibitors present their technologies and solutions for the recycling and environmentally friendly disposal of waste products. Our trade visitors are top decision-makers and buyers with specific concerns from the following industries: Demolition and construction materials recycling, waste and residual materials, biomass, glass, wood, plastics, material handling, paper, scrap and metal.

As part of the AI Hub and partner in the K3I-Cycling project, we will open the doors to our site in Alzenau on November 5, 2024 and offer interested citizens insights into our research in the project and beyond.

As a hub for additive manufacturing, Formnext is an international meeting point for experts in industrial 3D printing and production professionals from a wide range of application industries. With the trade fair in Frankfurt and content throughout the year, Formnext brings together expertise and creates a unique experience focused on intensive, professional exchange and access to the latest AM solutions. This combination enables the community to actively shape the next generation of intelligent industrial production.
