On 15 November, the best innovation project from the HZB will be awarded the Technology Transfer Prize 2019. The award ceremony is open to the public and will take place at 2 p.m. in the BESSY II auditorium at the HZB location in Berlin-Adlershof. All projects submitted to the competition will be presented in an exhibition starting Monday, October 21, initially in Wannsee, and starting November 4 in Adlershof.
Twelve projects have been submitted for the two-stage competition. In a first step a jury will select the projects which will be presented on 15 November along criteria such as degree of innovation and market potential.
With the Technology Transfer Award, HZB would like to honour outstanding achievements made by HZB employees in the field of technology transfer. A independent jury of members of the Industry Advisory Board evaluates the projects and determines the winner. They also take into account an audience vote that takes place after the presentations. The ceremony is held in German language.
After the award ceremony, you are invited to an informal exchange of ideas at the reception. We look forward to your participation.

- Israel Ibukun Olaniyan receives the Helmholtz Doctoral Prize 2026At Helmholtz, more than 8,000 doctoral candidates conduct research. Eleven of them have now been honored for their original and outstanding work, among them Dr Israel Ibukun Olaniyan from the HZB. His doctoral thesis "Ferroelectricity at the nanoscale in epitaxial BaTiO3 on silicon" in the group of Professor Catherine Dubourdieu represents a step towards a new nanoelectronics based on topological defects, that can potentially help to create an energy efficient information technology.
- Does African Architecture exist?The world’s first Pan-African Architecture Biennale took place this September in Nairobi, Kenya. People from the worlds of architecture, art, academia and politics from 54 African countries and the diaspora had travelled to Nairobi to exchange ideas on traditional and contemporary building methods, materials, experiences and projects. Samira Aden co-organised this biennial as lead curator. We spoke to her about it.
