Who we are
JONAS – Joint Research Network on Advanced Materials and Systems
The JONAS Research Network consists of four European partners: I.S.I.S. Institute at Strasbourg University, Freiburg University, and ETH Zurich as academic partners, and BASF SE as industrial partner.
The close collaboration of three leading European universities with BASF as industrial partner enables the JONAS network to extend the scientific basis and their understanding of future materials and systems.
Interested scientists thus have the opportunity to conduct research into highly relevant areas, working in research teams from top universities, and at the same time participate in industry-relevant research together with BASF.
The JONAS network has a capacity of about 25 postdocs per year. Depending on the research topic they are working in the university facilities in France, Germany, or Switzerland. Universities provide an ideal innovation environment with their academic know-how, great flexibility, and their freedom of research. The goal is to enhance our understanding of modern materials and to extend the international research network.
History shows that this concept is successful: The I.S.I.S. Institute at the University of Strasbourg has successfully collaborated with BASF's polymer research since 2003. More than 80 post-doctoral scientists have used the opportunity to work on recent research topics. About half of them subsequently began their careers working for BASF.
