ArtTech provides the social vision of post-petrochemistry in the dye industry. The feasibility of the vision has been shared with society through fashion shows using our cutting-edge natural dyes.   Tags: Environment & Nature, Green Tech, Ocean pollution.

Kletskoppen (‘Chatterboxes’) allows children from diverse backgrounds to discover the science behind language, so that they increase their enjoyment of language, broaden their view of science, and appreciate their own (multilingual) knowledge. Our activities include festivals in libraries and community centres, and lessons in schools about ‘being a scientist’ using…

I developed a relatively low-cost, low energy input process to make valuable products from mining wastes, which has the potential to achieve carbon neutral mining operations.   Tag: Climate change, Environment & Nature, Green Tech

Bohnhoff et al. develop an entirely new scale-invariant and process-oriented approach to unravel earthquake nucleation and rupture physics. This bears enormous potential for future generations of adaptive seismic hazard assessment at major tectonic plate-boundaries and associated risk at colocated population centers. This will also critically improve mitigation of man-made seismic…

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…

Journey between designer Salome Bazin (Cellule Studio) and myself, a bioengineering scientist, aiming to shape the future of cardiovascular healthcare by creating conversations with citizens and cardiac patients in particular. Two milestones of our collaboration have been “Big Heart Data”, a series of 50 3D printed hearts, and “Kalostasis”, an…

Victoria Reyes-García (PhD in Anthropology, 2001, University of Florida) is ICREA Research Professor at the Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology, Autonomous University of Barcelona (ICTA-UAB). Her research focuses on the relevance of Indigenous and local knowledge systems in understanding and addressing environmental and climate crises. Climate change is the most urgent and complex problem…

Bayer Kimlu Science Fellowship has the aims to shape the next generation of STEM leaders in Latin America. Each year we select 40 young people (age 14-18) to be part in a 10 days STEM-leadership science camp in which their develop their science competences and leadership skills. After this, they’re…

Paola Nogales-Ascarrunz is addressing the rampant jaguar trafficking in Bolivia, where over 300 fangs and 650 parts were seized on their way to Asia. Her solution involves molecular markers and whole genome sequencing to trace the origin of these seized jaguar parts, aiding law enforcement in controlling poaching hotspots and…

HOW ELECTORAL PSYCHOLOGY ENLIGHTENS DEMOCRATIC CITIZENSHIP What do citizens think about when they stand in the polling booth? In spite of the latest technological innovations in electoral methods, what goes on in people’s minds while voting has been neglected by academia until now. Michael Bruter, who has published widely in…
