Current events

The program is aimed primarily at master students and other early stage researchers in physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering, and life or environmental sciences. Students will be introduced to advanced synchrotron- and laboratory-based photon science methods that probe the physical, chemical, and electronic structures of materials as well as the function and dynamics of complex material systems.

Deadline for application is December 5th, 2022, and acceptance for participation will be communicated by December 12th, 2022.

Rund drei Viertel der EU-weiten Treibhausgasemissionen entfallen derzeit auf den Bereich Energie. Ein Umstand, welchem auch der Berliner Senat mit seinem Masterplan „Solarcity“ entgegenwirken möchte. Mit 27 Maßnahmen zur Beschleunigung des Solarausbaus in Berlin, soll die Hauptstadt ihren Beitrag zur Energiewende leisten.

Doch wie lassen sich die notwendigen Rahmenbedingungen für Unternehmen und Bürger:innen schaffen? Mit welchen Hürden sehen sich die Betroffenen heute schon konfrontiert? Und welche Rolle kann die Wissenschaft mit innovativer Forschung im Zuge der Energiewende einnehmen?

Im Rahmen des 8. RegioTALK des RIK Berlin Südwest zum Thema „Solarenergie made in Berlin – Potenziale und Herausforderungen“ am Donnerstag, 30. März, spricht Prof. Dr. Frank Schaal mit  Berit Müller (Solarzentrum Berlin), Dr. Kirsten Kubin (Koordinierungsstelle für Energieeffizienz und Klimaschutz im Betrieb) und Thorsten Kühn (HZB) über diese Themen.

Der 8. RegioTalk des RIK findet in den Räumlichkeiten des Planetariums am Insulaner, Munsterdamm 90, 12169 Berlin, statt. Der Abend ist für alle Gäste kostenfrei.

Die Leitveranstaltung der Energiewende in Deutschland findet im folgenden Jahr vom 3.-5. Mai digital und vom 22.-23. Mai in Präsenz in Berlin statt. Die ENERGIETAGE bringen jährlich alle relevanten Akteure der Energiewende und des Klimaschutzes zusammen.

Mit einem vielfältigen Programm, welches von verschiedenen Institutionen  aus den Sektoren Energie, Bauen, Wohnen, Klimaschutz und Umwelt gestaltet wird, bieten die ENERGIETAGE Raum für kontroverse inhaltliche energie- und klimapolitische Debatten, sowie eine Gelegenheit in den persönlichen Austausch zu gehen.

Einen Einblick in vergangene ENERGIETAGE, sowie alle wichtigen Infos für die ENERGIETAGE 2023 finden Sie in Kürze unter www.energietage.de.

We cordially invite you to the Long Night of the Sciences at the Wannsee site from 5 pm to 0 am. Learn more about our research, including on the latest solar cells and batteries of the future.  We offer guided tours through laboratories, lectures and many hands-on experiments for young and old. We look forward to your visit! More information about the programme will follow soon.

The focus of the 2023 School will be laid upon the various applications of X-ray crystallography of powders, small molecules and proteins, covering from the fundaments of Diffraction to the latest developments in the fields.

The user meeting 2023 will take place June 22 to June 23 as a summer meeting on-site and live in Berlin-Adlershof. Participation is free of charge.

At Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB), eye tumours have been successfully treated with accelerated protons for 25 years. The Charité Eye Clinic as medical partner and the HZB as operator of the proton accelerator in Berlin-Wannsee would like to celebrate this extraordinary cooperative achievement together with a festive event.

Detailed information and a link to registration will follow.

International Quantsol Summer School on Photovoltaics and New Concepts of Quantum Solar Energy Conversion 2023

September 3 - 10, 2023 in Hirschegg, Austria

We would like to inform you about the upcoming International Summer School on Photovoltaics and New Concepts of Quantum Solar Energy Conversion to be held from September 3-10, 2023 in Hirschegg, Kleinwalsertal, Austria. The school is now open for application until May 28th 2023 (Currently Central European Summer Time CEST, UTC +2). You can find the link for the application form in the upper left corner.The school primarily addresses young postdocs, PhD students, and master students in their final year at university with an interest in photovoltaics and solar energy conversion. Please note that due to the strong interest in our school persons that have already participated cannot be accepted a second time. Invited speakers, all recognised scientists from leading world institutions, will give lectures covering a wide range of topics on the fundamental principles of the conversion of solar energy into chemical and electrical energy as well as the physical and technical challenges. The school will follow the tradition of previous very successful summer schools in 1998, 2001, 2003, 2006, 2008-2022. It is organized to be very interactive and the participants and speakers are requested to present their field of research and themselves in a short oral presentation on the first day of the school

SXR2023 brings together young and experienced scientists to discuss recent scientific highlights, trends, and current advances with soft X-ray spectroscopy. Our goal is to further understanding on the atomic level. The impetus is to influence and ideally shape functionality in materials and molecular systems. In this effort, scientists cross intentionally the boundaries between physics, chemistry and materials and focus on the unifying aspects of functionality. Insights to the governing principles are often based on the combination of experiment with first principles theory and models. Thus a profound description of X-ray matter interaction — creating the spectroscopic observables — is always underlying.
