The BTU-DLR-BAM cooperation ['skai]-lab set up by BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) combines the various areas of expertise in additive manufacturing (BAM, BTU) and non-destructive testing / structural health monitoring (BAM) with the application requirements for novel propulsion concepts and components in aviation (DLR) and thus makes an important scientific contribution to sustainable aviation. The combination of the different expertise of DLR, BTU and BAM offers great added value here, as the research focuses complement each other in a unique way. In addition, ['skai]-lab enables the transfer of scientific expertise, including the energy sector, to the aviation industry.

The BTU-BAM Graduate School »Trustworthy Hydrogen« established by Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU) Cottbus – Senftenberg and Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) combines the unique hydrogen expertise and research facilities of both institutions. It aims to train the next generation of young scientists and engineers. By embedding the Graduate School into the established research institutions BAM and BTU, the PhD students not only have access to the expertise of both institutions, but also benefit from their large network of national, European and international partners from industry, science and the public sector.

The GRS funds the »Young Investigator Group – Intuitive XR« to promote young researchers. After the evaluation of several applications, BTU selected Dr. Marius Klug's concept for his Young Investigator Group.

For further information, please visit the Group's website.

Since 2016 the BTU has established six Clusters in the GRS as part of the strategy to strengthen the university's research profile. Clusters are flexible units that shall contribute to creating critical masses in the core research areas of BTU. At the same time, they are an essential instrument of promoting young researchers.Every Cluster receives funding from the GRS to award a specific number of doctoral scholarships to outstanding graduates.

The following Clusters have been established:

• »Integrated analysis of Multifunctional Fruit production landscapes to promote ecosystem services and sustainable land-use under climate change« (2020)
• »Regeneration processes of ageing« (2020)
• »Signatures of disturbed landscapes – case study mining landscapes« (2018)
• »Hybrid Simulation of GaN-HEMTs and Microwave Circuits« (2018)
• »Local production by smart value chains« (2016)
• »Cognitive Dependable Cyber Physical Systems« (2016)
• »Stochastic methods for fluid flow and transport processes« (2016)
• »Functional Materials and Film Systems for Efficient Energy Conversion« (2016)

Flagship Fellowship supports guest researchers (postdocs) during their research stay at BTU (2-12 months). Flagship Fellows work together with a department of one of BTU's six faculties. The fellows prepare joint publications for submission to high-ranking journals and organise events such as workshops for young researchers.
