The "NanoHybrids" project won the Ralf Dahrendorf Prize 2021 for its successful research collaboration at the European level and high-profile science communication. Within the project students in various grades participate in workshops on hydrogel formation and supercritical drying at the Institute of Thermal Process Engineering at Hamburg University of Technology. The project KinderForscher an der TUHH (KIFO) and aerogel researchers at the Institute of Thermal Process Engineering developed a digital learning platform to explain the aerogel manufacturing process in a way everyone can understand.
