💡 Did you know?💡 We've developed a device for measuring nitrate levels in surface water, crucial for the nitrogen cycle. 🚜🌾This handy gadget uses light to gauge nitrate concentration directly from your fields. Less light passing through means higher nitrate levels. This has the potential to help farmers monitor and manage their nitrate emissions more effectively, contributing to a healthier environment. 🌍💧 Joris van Nieuwstadt, R&D Engineer at imec at OnePlanet Research Center will explain more about this🌿.

Thrilled to be representing imec-NL at the #NANOTEXNOLOGY 2024 conference. Today at 15:30 the activities of the Autonomous Therapeutics program will be put in the spotlight!See you there!

This week I visited our imec the Netherlands team, on the impressive High Tech Campus Eindhoven. As imec, we’ve had a remarkable impact on Dutch technology. We’re a lifelong strategic partner of ASML, both 40 years old. We’ve even opened a joint lab in Veldhoven earlier this year. (https://lnkd.in/ezccMmeY) Furthermore, almost 20 years ago, we’ve joined forces with TNO in the Holst Centre. We were brought together by Philips, and their matchmaking was honoured in the name of our joint initiative: Gilles Holst is considered the founder of research at Philips and is one of the pioneers of industrial research in the Netherlands. (https://holstcentre.com/) Most recently, the joint research initiative OnePlanet Research Center in Gelderland is a globally unique collaboration between imec, Wageningen University & Research, Radboud University and Radboudumc. Established just five years ago, it has already made a huge impact on technology for healthy lives, and healthy and sustainable food. (https://lnkd.in/e6FHAVvW) Local impact, global potential! Thanks for the invitation and interesting conversations Kathleen Philips, Chris Van Hoof, Morela Lathouwers, Patrick W. Van Deursen, Carolien van der Leegte, Marielle Volleberg - Verberne, Tijs Wilbrink, and Sywert Brongersma. More info on imec activities in The Netherlands: https://lnkd.in/eipbf5m8

🚀 Innovation Day 2024🚀 Celebrating impactful collaborations and forward-thinking innovation, Holst Centre has led progress for over 18 years through open, collaborative ecosystems. Here is a long version of our important day, special thanks to everyone who participated in this video! See you next year! imec the Netherlands TNO Ton van Mol Kathleen Philips imec

🔋🧠 On Friday, June 28th, a dynamic gathering of entrepreneurs, researchers, and policymakers took place in Eindhoven to chart a collaborative roadmap for brain-inspired computing. With 60 attendees, the turnout underscored the community's commitment. The program included insightful talks, panel discussions, and breakout sessions on key topics such as promising applications and research impacts. 👩🏽💻 Sywert Brongersma, Director of Strategic Partnerships at imec at Holst Centre and event initiator, commented: “Successful partnerships start with strong connections among people, which was evident here. We must now build on this foundation, aligning timelines and interests across various disciplines and stakeholders.” A major highlight was the presentation of the whitepaper 'Neuromorphic Computing in the Netherlands,' which details the current landscape and stresses the importance of a unified strategy.  The meeting concluded at the new 3EALITY Hub with a clear message: the collective realization of the importance of advancing this field together. 💪🏽 Organized by: imec the Netherlands, Universiteit Twente, University of Groningen, SURF, Radboud University High Tech Campus Eindhoven
