From Marine Research to Application - Technology Transfer at the AWI with Eberhard Sauter

Technology And The Sea - Fascination Marine Technology

Welcome to this podcast episode, which is all about what marine research means for our everyday lives. It's about knowledge transfer, so it's about putting into context what marine researchers find out has to do with our lives.

And then there's technology transfer: For example, how a super-light yet extremely stable algae structure discovered by a marine researcher can be used in the aviation industry.

For such a technology transfer to work, there must be an interface, a place where the detailed knowledge of the researchers and the needs of the outside world meet. One such interface is the Technology Transfer Office at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, which has been headed by Prof dr. Eberhard Sauter since 2008.

Since 2017, he has also been on the board of the German Association for Marine Technology, where he supports a number of working groups that also focus precisely on bringing science and business together.

Eberhard Sauter is a passionate networker who had the desire to become a marine researcher at an early age and who today, in addition to all the technology transfer, inspires students for marine technology at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences.
