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…

Rocket-science without rocket-science: As a spin-off from the German Aerospace Center we develop and vend space science-based experiments and workshops to schools and universities. Our story-telling approach starts with catchy questions (“Who wants holidays on Mars?”, “How will we save our Planet”) and encourages pupils to participate in the course.…

The nominating institution Stanford University on the breakthrough: Efficient batteries are critical for our green energy strategy by powering electric cars and storing solar and wind electricity for grid integration. We pioneered nanotechnology-based materials design to enable novel breakthrough materials including silicon, lithium, and sulfur, which have ten times higher…

Our project is a narrow-spectrum therapy to deal with A. baumannii infections and in a long term provides a modular protein expression system that can be used to design new proteins for other species.   Tags: Bio-Tech, Engineering, Global Cooperation, Med-Tech, Science Communication.

Hamza Alfarawati is addressing fouling on wet surfaces like ships and ports by modifying nanometal oxides and incorporating them into paints to strengthen and enhance their anti-collision and antimicrobial properties. The goal is to create an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution to combat fouling and extend the lifespan of painted surfaces.

Common lecture recording techniques include voiceover and picture-in-picture. These approaches separate the lecturer from the content. The live composite video lecture technique avoids that by layering slide content directly over the video in real-time. This allows the lecturer to monitor slide content and interact with it as if it were…
