Fabio Blaschke is tackling the challenge of transporting green hydrogen over long distances by developing an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution using the steam iron process for the reduction and oxidation of iron. The project involves creating iron-based materials that can be reused hundreds of times, providing a stable and…

For a variety of reasons ranging from our heightened awareness of climate change and concerns for our health to an increased sensitivity to animal welfare issues, the popularity of alternatives to meat has been gaining unprecedented momentum in recent years. Mark Post, who trained as a medical doctor and is…

The nominating institution German Aerospace Center on the project: It is a challenge to provide adequate living for a rapidly growing urban population. To cope with population influx, demographic shifts and climate change requires functioning and resilient cities. Here, a combination of Big Earth Data, AI and modern ICT can…

Restoring Planetary Health with Science and Collaboration? The role of research and applying scientific discovery have proved to be fundamental to both human and planetary health. In many cases, solutions are at hand, but their development and subsequent application must be accelerated to turn evidence into action. This session will…

BIOLILOLAB is a lab focused on projects on prototyping and deprototyping biomaterials in the liquid, solid and gaseous states. In a short way, an autonomous lab guided by the experiment. BIOLILOLAB is a small independent lab with a fridge, incubators, spectrophotometer and the basic glassware necessary for biology experiments. BIOLILOLAB…

Nanotechnology is a promising therapeutic tool, but present implementations suffer from poor efficacy. My team and I are developing ultrasound-based micro/nanorobots with precise navigation capabilities that can overcome major limitations of existing nanodrugs. Ultrasound is safe, noninvasive, penetrates tissue, and is widely used in medicine, thus ultrasound-based propulsion will provide…

Understand and study the protein corona on our nanoparticle system, and come with methods to control both the formation and the content of the corona = turn the problem into our advantage! Tags: Bio-Tech, Med-Tech.

The nominating institution University of Edinburgh on the project: Resilient digital education futures are often assumed to be driven by the imaginaries of AI, personalisation and automation, but are in fact far more dependent on the creativity and conviction of faculty and students. This project showed how research can help…

The nominating institution Einstein Center for Neurosciences Berlin on the breakthrough: Open Innovation (OI) offers a different way of doing research to address urgent global challenges. We developed an unique training strategy that empowers early-stage researchers to apply OI concepts into their projects. To embed our training into Berlin’s neuroscience…
