Hi-Acts | Helmholtz Innovation Platform for Accelerator-Based Technologies & Solutions

🚀 Today’s Mission: Accelerating Innovation, Together. 🌟 Berlin showed its best face, and once again, we felt how valuable it is to meet in person. Today, we had an incredible workshop moderated by Alice Ebner from #SopraSteria alongside the Hi-Acts Team at the Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft in Berlin. 🙌 This collaborative session was a fantastic opportunity to harness the collective power to speed up the development of innovative solutions and refine our own collaboration methods. We know that “It is not the individual who creates success, but the team.” 🙌 Together, we assessed our current status, reviewed current and potential success stories, planned new exchange formats, and ensured we are moving in a common direction! Thank you Dr. Ruediger Werp, director at #Atrineo for guiding us along our way 🌍🔧💡 Driving impactful change can only happen when we regularly reflect on how we move forward.

🔬 Exciting Visit to the Max-von-Laue Hall at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY! 🔬 We´ve had the privilege of guiding approximately 30 participants of Handelskammer Hamburg through an insightful tour led by Holger Sondermann, showcasing the impressive capabilities of the Crystallography and Structural Biology (CSSB) facility. Sabine Brock (DESY / Hi-Acts) accompanied us as we explored the intricacies of our amazing Max-von-Laue Halle. One of the absolute highlights was our visit to #Beamline P11, expertly presented by scientist Spyros D. Chatziefthymiou. We all learned about advanced crystallography techniques and witnessed firsthand the remarkable robotic system within P11, capable of swiftly and autonomously exchanging samples. The participants were particularly engaged, posing numerous questions and expressing a keen interest in further collaboration with industry on the research campus. 🙌 A big thank you to everyone involved in organizing this enriching experience. It was inspiring to see such enthusiasm for cutting-edge research and its potential applications.

💡 What exactly are the Hi-Acts Use Case Initiatives? How can I apply and how much funding can we receive? Who is eligible for funding? 👉 We are happy to give you some valuable insights for all questions that come up on our Hi-Acts Exchange Format: Lunch Meet Up - Use Case Initiatives Call 💡 Join us for an engaging Lunch Meetup where we will present our current Use Case Initiative Call. In this funding call, Hi-Acts allocates 500,000€ to promote projects between Helmholtz Researchers, Industry and Start-Ups to advance specific applications for accelerator technologies. We will explain the modalities, the application process and how you and your topics can benefit of this great funding initiative. Furthermore, we will share some examples of successful projects from previous years. 🚀 Come join - Questions and discussions are welcome: Date: 18th July 2024 Time: 12:30 PM - 1:00 PM Format: Zoom *Sign In:* https://lnkd.in/eNuMfGj6 We are looking forward to your participation! #HiActsExchange #LunchMeetUp #PlaceyourQuestions

Here's an inside look at what's happened in the #KAI Workshop, which is organised through our partnership with Hamburg University of Applied Sciences!

🤝 Today Hi-Acts participated in the KAI-Workshop 2024, organized by Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften Hamburg (HAW Hamburg) and Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY! (KAI standing for: Kooperation für Anwendung und Innovation der HAW Hamburg und DESY) 💡 Under the leadership of the esteemed Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Wulf, Vice President for Research and Transfer, this event was dedicated to enhancing collaboration and expanding cooperative research ventures. In addition, previous cooperation projects were presented as well as proposals for the expansion of cooperative research projects. Also participating our Hi-Acts Technology Lab >Physics Informed AI< with Johannes Hagemann presenting super insights of how this lab develops robust reconstruction and analysis algorithms for imaging applications at a synchrotron lightsource. “Robustness, ease of applicability and reproducability are highly relevant properties if we want to offer imaging as a service for industrial applications. Using these algorithms as baseline we can apply machine learning techniques to speed-up the data analysis pipeline and transfer these algorithms to other setups, e.g. compact laser driven x-ray sources which are in development by another Hi-ACTS technology lab”, says Hagemann. There were also brilliant contributions by DESY Innovation Factory and Transferwelten. The day ended with insightful networking and new opportunities for future KAI-Seed Money funded projects.
