The BACCARA research school focuses on interdisciplinarity in the training of young scientists. MEET - Peter Leßmann The International Graduate School of Battery Chemistry, Characterization, Analysis, Recycling and Application (BACCARA) was established on 1 July 2020 at Münster University with the aim of setting standards in research and education. A comprehensive research programme covers the fields of materials science, (macro-)molecular chemistry, electrochemistry, catalysis and battery cell research for energy storage as well as life cycle analysis and recycling. In their guest contributions, two BACCARA doctoral students present the importance that interdisciplinarity and networking have in their everyday research. What do you, as a food chemist, do with batteries? Obviously, you mustn't eat them. Yes, at first sight they don't really seem to go together - but it works well and it's interdisciplinary at any rate! The master's course in Food Chemistry is pretty interdisciplinary - after all, we have courses on topics relating to food chemistry, toxicology, chemical analyses, botany and the law. This all aroused my curiosity to become acquainted with an area of chemistry in my PhD too, and I applied for a place at BACCARA.
