The annual CRC 1333 Status Meeting took place in Bad Wimpfen from May 5-7, 2025. All members of the CRC gathered for this three-day event, which serves as a central forum to present current research, exchange ideas and, disuss strategies and expectations for the continued development of the CRC 1333. This year’s seminar naturally placed particular emphasis on the expectations and plans for the upcoming third funding period.
Over the course of the seminar, each research team from the areas A – Materials, B – Catalysis, C – Analysis, Theory and Simulation as well as FAIR data management (INF) had the opportunity to share and discuss their latest results.
In lieu of a traditional scientific keynote, we invited Dr. Maike Lauggas, an expert from the Department of Gender Studies at the University of Vienna, who joined us virtually and conducted an interactive workshop on the topic of “To be or not to be biased”; reflecting our growing commitment to diversity training within the CRC 1333.

During the poster sessions on the first two days, our doctoral researchers presented their current work and received valuable feedback from peers and professors alike. In addition, the CRC 1333 INF team organized daily exhibitions during the coffee breaks, highlighting the FAIRSynthesis, FAIRVibSpec and Thermodynamic parameter estimation of linker and catalyst effects in pore-immobilized systems.
And of course, there was also time to socialize — with a lively pub quiz session, explorations of the historic town of Bad Wimpfen, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the beautiful early summer weather together.
The CRC 1333 Status Meeting proved once again to be a highly productive and inspiring gathering. We sincerely thank all participants for their valuable contributions!
