Following over 20 years of intensive, collaborative development work, European companies and research institutes have created a revolutionary new manufacturing technology for mass-producing powerful micro-chips: EUV lithography. Because EUV light is absorbed even by air, ZEISS SMT created an optical system for the EUV lithography machine that consists of the…

C-DELTA is a breakthrough in creating a platform for large scale training on digital education for students and teachers around the world for free. It is about how to make digital learning more efficient for individuals and the society by recognising digital identity and footprints online, creating and sharing digital…

CODE’s learning concept fundamentally changes the way we think about higher education. It empowers its students to learn everything they need in order to be successful in a world dominated by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity, and technology. With its educational concept based on self-directed, project-based, and curiosity-driven learning, CODE enables…

The science communication center creates customized content considering different audiences, through the lines: “learn” dedicated to general public, “update” oriented to professionals or specialized public of related areas, and “Apply” for decision makers. The interaction with the audience through social media, experiments, collaborations with national and international institutions guides them…

This Winners Session presents the Top 10 breakthroughs in the Science and Innovation Management category. From Stanford University to the Max Delbrück Center, and from EPFL to CERN – every institution, and with it every society, faces challenges. How to share knowledge? How to improve the Peer Review Process? How…

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.…

Starting in Ghana, Bright Tetteh Kwao’s project aims to save rice and sorghum yield in West Africa, which will put more money into farmers pockets and bring more food to the market for consumers.

The fast growth of greenhouse emissions in developing countries is a serious cause of concern for the sustainability of the world climate system. Improved quality of life and the resulting consumer behavior changes of large parts of their populations are causing countries such as China, India and Indonesia to rapidly…

We developed a catheter delivery system based on a balloon catheter with integrated microneedles on top of it, enabling localized delivery of therapeutics into targeted blood vessel walls. Tags: Bio-Tech, Engineering, Med-Tech, Mobile Health.

Innovative materials called complex scattering media allow us to see objects even when hidden behind obstacles. Anwesh Bhattacharya is developing a new infrared camera that can break our invisibility for heat vision.
