The Bremen University Prize for Excellent Teaching was awarded for the first time on the 3rd of November 2020 by the Senator for Science and Ports, Dr Claudia Schilling. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg Müssig and his working group took the second prize of 15,000 € for the “Research-based Learning” contribution. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg Müssig and his team have successfully applied the didactic approach of research-based learning to their entire teaching programme. In this way, they enable students on the bachelor’s degree course in biomimetics at HSB to receive an very research-oriented learning experience over their studies.

Vincent Röhl, Professor Dr.-Ing. Susanna Labisch and Professor Dr.-Ing. Jörg Müssig received the 2^nd prize in the “Biomimetic & Design” category.

The prize was awarded for developing software to reproduce the internal structure of biological role models and analyse any two-dimensional FEM models concerning the optimal alignment of support structures.

The transnational Ems-Dollart-Region project "Bio-economy in the non-food sector" was awarded a prize in the "Bre3D Award" competition organised by the state of Bremen. The BioEconomy consortium project received second prize in the "Materials " category with its entry "Biobased & Hierarchical Structures in 3D Printing".

Professor Dr Jörg Müssig's Biological Materials Working Group at the Biomimetic Innovation Centre at HSB received the award on behalf of the BioEconomy consortium (3N Competence Centre Renewable Resources and Bioeconomy, Werlte / NHL Stenden - Green PAC, University of Applied Sciences, Emmen, Netherlands / Linotech GmbH & Co.KG, Forst / HSB, Bremen).

The paper “Natural and man-made cellulose fibre-reinforced poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites: An overview about mechanical characteristics and application areas”, authored by Nina Graupner, Axel Hermann and Jörg Müssig and published in Composites Part A in 2009 was selected for most highly cited paper award in 2015. The authors were the second recipients of this award for the research paper, receiving the largest number of citations in the preceding five years.

Winner of the Honda Initiation Grant Europe (HIGE) 2015. Honda desires to have more extensive interactions with European universities to boost both Honda's research and university academic research and started the European initiation grant program to promote to fund innovative research projects. The primary purpose of this program is to support novel and exciting ideas in an early stage of development. In 2015 Professor Jörg Müssig and Katharina Albrecht won the 30.000 Euro endowed grant with the project Recycled Carbon Fibres for Crash-relevant Components.
