Leibniz MMS Days
March 2 - 4, 2026
Frankfurt (Oder)

As the last two years, we organize a Leibniz MMS Science Slam. Science slams are fun competitions in which the participants present their research in a casual, entertaining way. The topics should be MMS related, the talks at most ten minutes long. Contributions can contain poetry, dance, rap, live experiments, etc. - everything to the extent permitted by law. As a matter of course there will be a phenomenal prize to win again

Again, recordings will be made available to the presenters and their institutes for publication. This is intended to increase the visibility of MMS research in general and MMS topics at the respective institutions in particular.

The MMS Science Slam takes place on March 3, 2026 from 16:45 to 18:15 at IHP. We are looking forward to the following contributions to the competition:

• Sanket Anand (IKZ Berlin) - Density Functional Theory: Or How I come to love the messy work in Quantum World
• Meera Bishnoi (IHP Frankfurt/Oder) - The Story of My Grandma and Me
• Olga Bokareva (LIKAT Rostock) - Getting in Sync: A Photocatalytic Story
• Ulf Gräwe (IOW Rostock-Warnemünde) - Ocean's Seven – Facing 300,000 Tons of Trouble
• Shahsharif Mohammadshafi Shaikh (ATB Potsdam) - Tom and Jerry with the Giant Grass Trap
