by spintronics. The current semiconductor-based systems will reach their limits in the foreseeable future, meaning that innovative technologies need to be developed if components are to be miniaturized further and energy consumption is reduced. In this context, spintronics is a highly promising approach. While conventional electronic systems in IT components employ only the charge of electrons, spintronics also involves the intrinsic angular momentum or spin of electrons for information processing. Using this technology, it should be possible to develop non-volatile storage and logic systems and these would then reduce energy consumption while also radically simplifying systems architecture. The new research network will be officially launched on April 1, 2013; with the inaugural meeting of the partners taking place at the Newspin3 Conference that is to be held on April 2, 2013 in Mainz.

Funding for the MAINZ Graduate School was approved in the 2007 German Excellence Initiative. In the second round in 2012, MAINZ was awarded further funding for another five years a major success for the materials scientists in Mainz and a significant boost for the education of young researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. The Graduate School of Excellence combines work groups from JGU, the University of Kaiserslautern, and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz. One of its core research fields is spintronics. Cooperation in this sector with leading international partners plays an important role. The Graduate School provides outstanding national and international doctoral candidates in the natural sciences with excellent training in materials science.
