Station1 is a new nonprofit higher education institution, founded by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2016, that is paving a pathway of opportunity through a new model of learning and research - socially-directed science and technology. This model integrates science and technology with humanistic fields and the social sciences in order to interrogate, understand, and shape technologically-driven societal impact towards more equitable and sustainable outcomes. Core to the Station1 model is broadening access and opportunity for students from historically under-served backgrounds. To advance this mission, Station1 designs and carries out transformative education, research, innovation, and collective impact projects, programs, and initiatives. Current research areas of interest include socioresilient materials design, socially-directed biotechnologies and technology-driven health in/equity, bio- and nature-inspired systems, water technologies and infrastructure in/as sociotechnical systems, technology, social, and environmental in/justice, and technosocial possibilities and histories of the future. Station1 collaborates with partners worldwide, including socially-minded startup companies, established industry, the social and public sectors, and academia. Station1 has had over 260 supporters, educated over 90 undergraduate Fellows, engaged over 6,000 direct beneficiaries, and has partnered with over 90 organizations worldwide.

The Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces was founded in 1992. Research in Colloid and Interface Science is widely covered by the following Departments: Biomaterials, Biomolecular Systems, Colloid Chemistry, Interfaces as well as Theory and Bio-Systems. Current research topics are polymeric films, membranes, microcapsules, organic and inorganic nano- structures, biomineralization, nano- and microreactors, molecular motors and filaments as well as chemistry and biology of carbohydrates. Biomimetic research is at the core of the Institute’s activity. Common goal is to learn from nature how to build hierarchical materials or active systems with new functionalities, with adaptive, self-healing or self-assembling properties.
