Project launches and completions, conferences and workshops, visits from delegations from politics, business and science… There’s always a lot going on here. Here you can find the latest news from the ZBT.

Projects are being successfully completed and new ones launched. Our employees are also on the road a lot and can be found at our own events or at conferences and trade fairs.

We also regularly welcome delegations from business, science and politics. Sometimes even a chancellor or king drops by.


We publish exciting research results on a regular basis and are sometimes delighted to receive awards.


This is the right place if you want to immerse yourself in life at the ZBT.
