CeNTech CSO informs NRW Minister about MDR-Support@NRW project
The NRW Minister of Economics Mona Neubaur visited the MDR Support@NRW booth at the MEDICA in Düsseldorf. CeNTech CSO Holger Winter talked with the minister about the challenges of the Medical Device Regulation certification, that companies currently face as well as about the project activities. Besides the CeNTech GmbH Bioanalytik Münster e.V and Gesundheitswirtschaft Münsterland e.V. are also partners in the project.
CeNTech Science Breakfast 2022
Again the annual CeNTech Science Breakfast took place , welcoming a very diverse audience from the science location Münster. The alliance between research and development on one side and the strategic urban development on the other side is working, explained CeNTech CEO Enno Fuchs. CeNTech R+D director Harald Fuchs emphasized the importance of the science park as a center of high-tech research and development. The program included lectures about the future urban development on the outskirts of the science park, the presentation of the Münster battery cluster and smart solutions in the healthcare sector. Further presentations were dedicated to the Quantum Technology Network Münster and the Cryo-electron microscopy.
Prof. Fuchs receives top-class award from China
The scientific director of CeNTech, Prof. H. Fuchs, was recently awarded a prize by the Peoples Republic of China, which only ten scientists worldwide receive annually. A success in which his long lasting and constant cooperation with Chinese universities was honored. His research group has hosted about 70 young Chinese scientists so far.

Professor Fuchs highly awarded in China
For many years of scientific cooperation with China, Prof. Harald Fuchs received the "Chinese Government Friendship Award". Thus, the physicist of the University of Münster and CeNTech director is honored with the highest award, which the Chinese government awards to foreign experts - this year there are 100 award winners from 31 countries.
Publication ACS Nano: Study about high-resolution atomic force microscopy with the performance of copper single-atom catalysts
CeNTech scientists combine atomic-scale characterization of a single atom catalyst with a direct proof of the electrochemical performance in an oxygen reduction reaction, which is an important process in fuel cells. In collaboration with the Max-Planck-Institute for Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam and the University of Paderborn, the researchers used organic supramolecular networks to stabilize single copper atoms as catalytically active sites. The study was successfully published in the renowned American Chemical Society Journal.
City of Münster and University of Münster continue CeNTech collaboration
The CeNTech GmbH Supervisory Board and the Westphalian Wilhelms University (WWU) have decided to continue the proven concept beyond 2023. CeNTech CEO Enno Fuchs and WWU Chancellor Matthias Schwarte signed the new agreement to continue the successful collaboration. CeNTech I was inaugurated in 2003 and is recognized as a nucleus and driver for the local high-tech research in nanotechnology and the further development of the science park. CeNTech II opened in 2011, the Nano Bioanalytik Zentrum (NBZ) in 2013 and the Center for Soft Nanoscience (SoN) in 2018. In 2011 CeNTech was awarded as ORT DES FORTSCHRITTS by the former NRW Science Minister Svenja Schulze. By now a considerable number of start-ups with a significant growth potential have been founded at CeNTech.
