The Center for the Transformation of Chemistry (CTC), a newly founded national research hub in Germany, is supported by €1.25 billion in funding (until 2038) and is dedicated to redefining the role of chemistry in tackling global challenges. It brings together researchers from across disciplines such as chemistry, physics, engineering, data science, and social sciences to develop sustainable materials, processes, and technologies that support a circular economy. This requires an advanced software infrastructure that ties together robotic systems, AI-driven decision-making, experiment orchestration, and scientific data management into a coherent, scalable platform. Within this infrastructure, the software backend ensures that all components communicate reliably, workflows execute reproducibly, and the system can scale with the institute's growing research needs.
