Did you hear? A new Call for talks has been launched for the 28th Biennial ELGRA Conference (3-6th September, Liverpool, UK) 🎉 The call for talks for this International space & gravity related research conference s open until April 11th and welcomes submissions from academia, industry, government agencies and wider sector colleagues. Further details are below ----- What is ELGRA?  For those new to ELGRA, this will mark our 28th biennial conference and 45th Anniversary. The mission of ELGRA since founding, is to champion space & gravity related research and education. This has included funding early career research projects, jointly running university education and training programs with the European Space Agency Academy and supporting international research programmes. A highlight of the ELGRA calendar is the biennial conference, where we bring the community together to celebrate the breadth of space & gravity related research and innovation, through a international 3.5-day conference.

The focus of this conference will be on the latest advances in the development of theoretical and computational fluid dynamics, flow control, and complex flow measurement techniques, and the exchange of new information between scientists and engineers working in universities, industry, and other fields. This conference aims to provide an international forum for the presentation, exchange of ideas, and creation of knowledge on recent advances in various aspects of the theories, analyses, and applications of flow control techniques in complex fluid flow systems. It will bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, research institutes, and industry to exchange experiences, disseminate up-to-date information, and explore new opportunities in this field; in particular, through the conference, it will expose young or new researchers to the state of the art in the field: participation of PhD students is warmly solicited.

🎆 Happy birthday Stiftelsen för strategisk forskning, SSF 🎆 Celebrating with dedicated featured articles in Framtidens Forskning Similar to personal independence, academic independence is contingent on the availability of means of support that allow you to leave the nest and follow your ambitions. With the research grants bestowed for my Ph.D within the SwedNess Research School first and for my postdoc in view of future European Spallation Source ERIC utilization after, SSF has laid the foundation for my entire career as a large-scale facility expert, allowing me to explore a variety of research topics, create new opportunities for the use of neutron-based experimental methods, and build bridges across disciplines. Thanks to SSF I could embark on an exciting new chapter, shifting from solid state condensed matter physics to soft condensed matter for climate change mitigation applications. Characterizing this type of materials presents challenges due to their complex, hierarchical structures, dynamic behavior, and lack of long-range order compared to crystalline solids. Investigation techniques must be capable of resolving multiple length scales, capturing temporal changes, and probing disordered structures effectively. Addressing these challenges requires a multi-disciplinary approach integrating advanced imaging, spectroscopy, scattering methods, and computational modeling, all of which is part of the project I am carrying out between the Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry (MMK) at Stockholm University and the PSI Paul Scherrer Institut. What the future holds is not for me to know, but I certainly embrace and enjoy the remarkable journey I am on today. #ResearchGrant #SoftMatter #NeutronScience #ESS #AcademicJourney #Nanocellulose

IDDK is pleased to announce that we will be delivering an oral presentation at the upcoming European Low Gravity Research Association (ELGRA) 2024 conference, which will be held in Liverpool, UK, in September 2024. ELGRA is a prestigious international conference dedicated to advancing research in low gravity environments, bringing together experts from fields such as space, biology, physics, and engineering. In our presentation, we will showcase the latest research results achieved using our innovative semiconductor-based one-chip microscopy device, the Micro Imaging Device (MID). Unlike traditional microscopes, MID does not require optical lenses, making it lightweight and compact while delivering high-resolution imaging even in extreme environments such as space. Our presentation will focus on the development of a space biology experimentation platform utilizing MID and the significant outcomes we have achieved so far. We will discuss new biological discoveries made in space and explore the potential applications of these findings on Earth. This presentation will demonstrate how IDDK’s solutions can benefit researchers and industries alike. Through this presentation, we aim to strengthen our collaboration with the international research community and pursue new possibilities in space exploration and biological research. <About ELGRA2024>  The European Low Gravity Research Association (ELGRA) is a European organization dedicated to promoting research in low gravity environments. The annual conference is a key event where the latest research findings and technological developments are presented, and it also provides valuable networking opportunities. https://lnkd.in/gcbDuD7n https://lnkd.in/g7x3jtNg
