Review: SFB 1313 Status Seminar 2025

The SFB 1313 status seminar for 2025 convened from March 17 to 19 in Gültstein, Germany. With a turnout exceeding around 70 members, associated members, and guests, the seminar served as a platform for presenting and discussing various projects centered around porous media topics.

Each project within project areas A, B, C, and D showcased their respective work, alongside the central projects INF, Z02 (PML), and WIKO (Science Communication). Poster sessions provided opportunities for in-depth discussions and elaboration on additional inquiries.

Congratulations to our SFB 1313 associate researcher Amir Reza Zargar and our SFB 1313 spokesman Holger Steeb, for winning the "Best Poster Award " and the "Best Question Award" at the SFB 1313 Status Seminar 2025.

Public Engagement Award

The SFB 1313 "Public Engagement Award", endowed with 1000 euros, was awarded again during the status seminar. Researchers are awarded this prize for their outstanding contribution to SFB 1313 science communication. The management team decided to acknowledge two researchers for their public engagement:

• Anna Mareike Kostelecky (research project AX-5) and
• Rebecca Kohlhaas (research project D03)

Congratulations to both of them!

Special thanks go to Samaneh Vahid Dastjerdi and Beate Spinner for organising the status seminar 2025, to our spokesman Holger Steeb, and to the whole team for creating such a great working environment and team spirit! We're looking forward to a third funding period!
