How Immunotherapy Can Become Effective Against Cancer One of the biggest challenges in the research for new cancer treatments is the fact that many tumours are equipped with a molecular shield that allows them to repel attacks from the immune system. Since the 1980s, there have been cancer therapies which…

SprinD is a front-runner organization in Europe with a completely new approach to breakthrough innovation. I does not rely on peer-review-based identification and selcetion processes. Rather it aims at recruiting forward-looking innovation managers to select research and innovation projects which are both research-intensive and application-oriented. Rafael Laguna will be able…

CSSI is a multidisciplinary community intersecting big data with new computational techniques. CSSI research helps uncover fundamental principles underlying the success and/or failure of innovation through the use of AI and large datasets. This research is impacting our understanding of global innovation in a way that will foster even more…

Tarek was awarded the second place for his research on artificial intelligence, titled “Breaking the Wall of Computational Creativity”. He works on the development of supercomputers that are capable of composing music like star composers. Besold believes that computers have the ability to imitate human creativity with the means of…

The strongest source of free encyclopaedic knowledge is Wikipedia, which currently contains about 6.458.000 articles in English. At the same time, the switch from analogue to digital TV signals and the development of flat screens have made myriads of tube TVs obsolete. A smart combination of these devices can help…

The Radio Frequency (RF) Energy Harvesting system is an application-specific integrated circuit that converts ambient RF energy to generate sufficient power for the sensor nodes used in IoT applications.

The nominating institute CERN on the project: Tello is coordinator of the EU-funded initiative ATTRACT,  which creates breakthrough innovations in detection and imaging. It’s a novel co-innovation scheme that engages research infrastructures, industry, private investors and students in entrepreneurship, using the principles of open innovation and cascade funding.

How Genetics Provides New Tools for Understanding Innate Immunity Humans and other organisms are under constant threat from deadly invaders – viruses, bacteria and other microbes which infiltrate the body, create dangerous toxins and damage or kill cells. Along the line of evolution, organisms developed sophisticated defence mechanisms to deal…

Günther Hasinger is one of the leading experts in astrophysical deep X-ray surveys and is currently focusing on the formation of the earliest black holes. He was speaking about planetary exploration, especially the missions that ESA are doing with NASA and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency).

Taking third place was Srilahari Namani of India. She presented a computer-aided method to rapidly identify different species of mosquitos which can be used locally to prevent diseases transmitted by mosquitos.
