In concrete terms, the aim was to expand existing research collaborations and develop DFG, EU and ERASMUS cooperation projects.
The Israeli scientists represent BIU’s strengths in the fields of molecular microbiology, biochemistry/biophysics, advanced materials, nanotechnology, photonics, neurotechnology, microelectronics, quantum technologies, in semiconductor-related areas and in complementary interdisciplinary fields.
On February 3, Prof. Dr.-.Michael HĂĽbner, full-time Vice President for Research and Transfer at BTU, welcomed the Israeli guests to the Senate Hall at the Cottbus Central Campus. Presentations and a round of talks with BTU scientists from Faculties 1 – STEM – Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, 2 – Environment and Natural Sciences and 3 – Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Energy Systems kicked off the joint program. This included talks with researchers from Faculties 2 and 3, further presentations and laboratory visits on February 4. On February 5, the Israeli guests traveled to Dresden for talks at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS.
