Bavarian Polymer Institute

The Key Laboratory of Supramolecular Polymers of the Bavarian Polymer Institute (BPI), initiated in 2016 as a joint research institute of the Universities of Bayreuth, Erlangen-Nürnberg and Würzburg. Within this strategic collaboration, the three North Bavarian Universities combine their expertise in the fields of polymer science and polymer engineering. The Bavarian Polymer Institute fosters cutting-edge interdisciplinary research by enabling strategic and infrastructural collaborations with joint research projects and the establishment of common know-how-chains.
