✨ Additional insights from our research assistant Hajar Elfatihi, regarding her participation in the Site Selection Days 2024, which took place in Goslar last month✨: I was deeply thrilled to take part in the 2024 Site Selection Days, organized by the Technische Universität Clausthal and the Federal Company for Radioactive Waste Disposal (BGE). The conference covered a broad spectrum of scientific, technical, and socio-technical topics related to site selection. Engaging in deep discussions with professionals and academics in such a collaborative environment was a true delight!🤓 I contributed with a poster, where I introduced a method to quantify potential #knowledge gain regarding the geoscientific weighting criteria for the site selection, combining concepts from #DecisionTheory (Analytic Network Process) and #InformationTheory (Value of information). The conversations that ensued were thoughtful and provided valuable feedback, enriching my research perspectives significantly🤩. This experience reaffirmed how crucial interdisciplinary approaches are in addressing the complex challenges of radioactive waste disposal. Working across various fields not only brings unique insights but also fosters #InnovativeSolutions. Thankful for the opportunity and looking forward to continuing these insightful conversations and collaborations! 🙏🏼 #SiteSelection2024 #CollaborativeScience #GeologicalRepository #PublicParticipation #DecisionTheory #EnvironmentalScience #RadioactiveWasteManagement #Interdisciplinary #TagederStandortauswahl #Endlagersuche #KnowledgeManagement #MCDM #ANP #Endlager

How can #machine-learning improve #green steel production? We are excited to welcome Baptiste Bienvenu to MPI SusMat, where he will explore this question with a #scholarship awarded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. The formation of microstructures and defects during hydrogen-based direct reduction hugely influences the materials properties. Yet they are not fully understood at the atomic scale. In close collaboration with the experimental groups at MPI SusMat, Bienvenu develops a machine-learning interatomic potential to identify and overcome barriers in industrial green steel-making implementation.

📢 UniGR-CIRKLA Coordinated by the University of Liège, the UniGR_CIRKLA project aims to continue to position the Greater Region as a European model for the efficient management of critical raw material to recover from technological resources and waste 🔬♻️ 👉 Among over 20 major players from industry, society, and politics, the Saarland University as well as the Material Engineering Center Saarland (MECS) are valuable partners in the UniGR-CIRKLA project! The UniGR - University of the Greater Region (UniGR), through its UniGR-CIRKLA initiative - which aims to develop a comprehensive portfolio of training, research and innovation projects in the circular economy sector - has just been awarded significant funding from the Interreg VI Greater Region programme for the establishment of a second centre of expertise dedicated to the transition to a circular economy of materials and metals.   This strategic initiative revolves around three main axes: society, territory and innovation, all interconnected to promote increased circularity of materials and metals. The project, which officially started on 1 April 2024, will run for a period of four years during which activities will be supported by the Interreg VIA Greater Region programme and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).   👉 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ebqSBvJD #materialsaar #unigr #interreggr #cirkla #circulareconomy #innovation #research #materialscience

On Tuesday 16 April at 10:15 a.m., Eng. Greta Tresoldi, product and marketing manager of LSI LASTEM, will hold an interesting webinar for the students of the Politecnico di Milano. This is an opportunity to discover the applications and case studies of automatic geoelectric monitoring and how technological innovation is changing the approach to environmental monitoring of infrastructures for the prediction and prevention of hydrogeological instability. #LSILASTEM  #EnvironmentalMonitoring #Webinar #PolitecnicodiMilano

Dr. Rafaela Vasiliadou, lecturer at AUB Mediterraneo, participated in the program "Researchers in Schools" of the MISSION POSSIBLE project organized by the Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF). The main objective of this project was to increase the interaction of researchers with students/teachers, as well as to promote research innovation and present research as a career. As a part of this project, Vasiliadou recently visited the The International School of Paphos, where she delivered an inspiring #lecture titled "Microfluidics for a Greener Environment." During this session, she introduced her research to 90 eager students and highlighted the significant role of #chemistry in safeguarding our #planet. The lecture aimed to motivate students about the potential of scientific advancements in tackling environmental issues, demonstrating how microfluidic technology can lead to sustainable solutions. Together, we’re empowering young minds to create a sustainable future. #Sustainability #STEMEducation #Microfluidics #ResearchInSchools #Innovation #AUBMediterraneoFaculty #AUBMediterraneo #Pafos

POIESIS-PT team (Marta Entradas, Inês Carneiro e Sousa, Feng Yan) attended the 12th Congress of SciComPt, which took place at Universidade do Minho, in Braga, May 8-10. The team presented two talks. In the talk “The role of scientific institutions in public involvement in science: voices from institutional stakeholders” the team presented the main findings of the Focus Groups with Institutional Stakeholders, which took place in Lisbon in February 2024. This talk discussed the need to reinforce the capacity of science communication offices with resources to establish long-term relationships between scientific institutions and society. In the talk” Science communication by scientists in Portugal”, the team discussed perceptions of researchers working in Portuguese research institutions and universities about their role in science communication and how this may affect public’s opinion and trust in science. SciComPt is the Portuguese Science and Technology Communication Network, aiming to promote science communication in all its aspects, to promote exchange between Science Communication professionals as well as the informed participation of citizens in all issues involving Science and Technology. #PTPOIESIS #TrustInScience

☞ How do we accelerate environmental innovations and sustainable development? At the 4th FPO International Workshop, researchers from the Innovation Horizons Project presented impactful research and innovation (R&I) management concepts and findings that could support the sustainable transition of the energy sector. Dr. habil. Zoltan Csedo highlighted the significance of network orchestration in sustainable smart city initiatives, demonstrating its role in enhancing environmental innovation performance. Additionally, Dr. Máté Zavarkó, PhD discussed how transdisciplinary research and environmental innovation could be interconnected within the energy sector, drawing on empirical data from the V4 (Visegrád Group) countries. Both perspectives underline that strategic adaptation is a critical success factor in environmental innovation activities, especially in the face of turbulent market and institutional contexts and complex stakeholder relationships, as suggested by the recent findings from the research group. The Innovation Horizons Project is part of the Future Potentials Observatory (FPO).

🚀 New research project launched! 🌍 The University of Potsdam and the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau are joining forces in the innovative project ERASER, dedicated to the next generation of wastewater technologies. Over the next four years, this interdisciplinary network will work on the cost-efficient, energy-efficient and sustainable elimination of trace pollutants. 🔬 What is the goal? The development of innovative photocatalytic processes for the removal of organic contaminants from wastewater. Under the direction of renowned experts such as Prof. Dr. Hans-Hennig von Grünberg and Prof. Dr. Ilko Bald, research is being conducted into new technologies that could revolutionise wastewater treatment. 💡 Why is this important? The project not only receives a funding rate of 60% from the state of Brandenburg, but also a high level of participation from the universities themselves. This demonstrates the commitment of the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau and the University of Potsdam to environmental technology. With a total volume of over 2.5 million euros, the foundation for future-oriented environmental solutions is being laid here. 👉 Find out more at this link: https://lnkd.in/eMY3HnM9 #AirportRegionBB Technische Hochschule Wildau Universität Potsdam #WFBB
