    Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings Scholarships STEM impulses - Large individual funding projects – CZS Individual funding

    Short description

    The Carl Zeiss Foundation awards scholarships to outstanding young scientists from the STEM fields to attend the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings.

    Magnetic and inductive measurement technology for solid, fluid and gaseous objects to be measured or examined (MIndMess) STEM impulses - Individual funding programmes – CZS research boost

    Short description

    Prof. Dr. Dominique Buchenau, Professor of Solid State Physics and Physical Measurement Technology at the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences in Jena, is involved in the development of contactless sensor technology based on magnetic and inductive measurement and functional principles.

    MAINCE: Medical AI combining Natural products and CEllular Imaging Artificial Intelligence - Project funding programmes – CZS Breakthroughs

    Short description

    MAINCE will use AI approaches to identify new and much-needed therapeutics in immunology. Clues to the effect of therapeutics through state-of-the-art imaging techniques will be linked by AI to laboratory experiments to accelerate drug development and make it more efficient.

    Material innovations for wafer-level packaging technologies Resource efficiency - Project funding programmes – CZS Transfer

    Short description

    Wafer-level packaging is a chip manufacturing technology. It increases integration densities and reduces the use of materials and energy. The project aims to bring new material concepts and 3D printing technologies to production maturity.

    Material systems Resource efficiency - Large individual funding projects – CZS Applied basic science

    Short description

    The Institute for Sustainable Technical Systems (INATECH) at the University of Freiburg is establishing a competence centre for the development of functional material systems with funding from the Carl Zeiss Foundation.

    Mechatronik Systems Engineering Artificial Intelligence - Individual funding programmes – CZS Endowed Professorships

    Short description

    Prof. Dr. Rainer Gasper has been appointed as Endowed Professor of Mechatronic Systems Engineering at Offenburg University of Applied Sciences starting summer semester 2019.

    Memristive Materials for Neuromorphic Electronics (MemWerk) STEM impulses - Project funding programmes – CZS Breakthroughs

    Short description

    Materials with memory, so-called memristive materials, are intended to reproduce biological paradigms of information processing, such as learning and memory formation, extremely precisely and thus offer a new hardware basis for information technology.

    Metasurfaces for Diffractive Deep Neural Networks (MetaNN) Artificial Intelligence - Individual funding programmes – CZS Nexus

    Short description

    Dr. Sina Saravi is a physicist specializing in nano-optics. He studied electrical engineering in Iran and then completed his doctorate in physics at the University of Jena, where he has been working as a postdoctoral researcher since 2018.

    Microscopic image analysis Life Science Technologies - Individual funding programmes – CZS Endowed Professorships

    Short description
