#GetToKnowUsMore Let's get to know our "Acoustics research group" through the group leader, Tobias Bohne. Tobias shared insights with us about our acoustics research group at the Institut für Statik und Dynamik - LU Hannover. He provided a detailed overview of the group's research activities, highlighting our involvement in the DAGA 2024 conference, which we co-hosted with Institut für Kommunikationstechnik and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Akustik e. V. Discover all the details by watching his comprehensive video interview. Feel free to connect with Tobias Bohne for further discussions and collaborations. Wishing Tobias Bohne and the acoustics research group all the best in their future pursuits! A big thank you to him for facilitating this engaging and informative interview! #research #academics #acoustics #energy #conference Raimund Rolfes, Institut für Statik und Dynamik - LU Hannover, Leibniz Universität Hannover Credits: Maryam Hematipour, Aditya Bansod, Luis Hernando Sierra Alarcón, Katja Mock & Anilkumar P.

Professor Gillian Murray’s recent guest article in the Edinburgh Evening News, written on behalf of the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, highlights the crucial role universities play in driving Scotland’s ambitions in the space sector. Scotland is now Europe’s leading hub for satellite launches and space exploration, and at Heriot-Watt University, we are proud to be at the forefront of this progress. With our expertise in quantum technologies, photonics, and advanced materials, we are advancing the research and innovation needed to support this growing sector. As a member of the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, we are deeply invested in forging strong collaborations between academia, industry, and government. These partnerships are vital for transforming groundbreaking research into real-world impact, ensuring Scotland’s space economy continues to thrive on the global stage.

As we celebrate World #Metrology Day (WMD: https://lnkd.in/evFMzYw) on May 20th, 2024, it's not just about commemorating the signing of the Metre Convention but also about reflecting on our shared commitment to advancing science and engineering for a sustainable future. At Dracal Technologies, our mission transcends mere innovation; it's about positively contributing to accelerating scientific and engineering progress. Our team of engineers and scientists wakes up every morning driven by this existential purpose – to make meaningful strides toward addressing humanity's pressing challenges. This year's WMD theme, #Sustainability, resonates deeply with Dracal's core values and mission. From measuring energy consumption to managing resources and identifying pollution sources, accurate metrology plays a pivotal role in shaping a more sustainable global economy and environment. As we mark this important day, let's not just celebrate the milestones of the past but also envision the possibilities of the future. Let's continue integrating Dracal's mission into the broader scope of metrology, working together to create a better world through science and education.

Quantum Year: get involved. The Australian Institute of Physics invites research, cultural, political, business and industry organisations to get involved and use Quantum Year to share your science. BUILDING QUANTUM YEAR 1. Plan and register your events early We’re building Quantum Year much like National Science Week, a community festival that everyone can be part of simply by registering the events and using the branding. Each year there are over 1,500 Science Week events. We’ve created the tools to promote the Year through events, the web, socials, and this bulletin. Now we’re asking everyone planning an event to register their events. Don’t wait until you’ve got all the details, we can update your posts later. The sooner you register, the more we can do to help you find collaborators, avoid clashes, and build buzz for your event and the Year. And you can use the Quantum Year branding in your promotions. Anyone can plan and register a Quantum Year event. You can view registered events here: https://lnkd.in/essX4AiN And add your own events here: https://lnkd.in/es6m2ucw 2. Join our State committees Each AIP branch is planning activities. Please contact us if you’d like to get involved in local activities. 3. Partner with us to do more With your support, we will be able to widely promote Quantum Year and organise a range of national projects including - Community grants - National lecture tour - Parliamentary and industry events - Publications celebrating Australia’s place in quantum science. We invite universities, government agencies and the tech sector to talk to us about sponsorship or read our prospectuses online at https://lnkd.in/eynXxa6p. Packages range from $5,000 to $200,000.    Quantum Year in the media We’ve been talking quantum across the media including ABC News Radio, Radio National Breakfast, 2SM, The Conversation, and ABC local radio in Melbourne, Tasmania, Perth, and regional Victoria. See the latest stories at https://lnkd.in/evA5TZdX.   Get in touch To find out more about plans in Australia for the Quantum Year, register events and get involved, visit the website: quantum2025.org.au or contact the committee: quantum2025@aip.org.au.  Keep updated by following the AIP on our social media channels below and use this hashtag for the Year #QuantumYear. If your post has space, also add in #IYQ2025 #QuantumCurious #QuantumFuture.
