Urban Innovation Forum 2023
Urban Innovation Forum UIF 2023 brings together a diverse group of urban innovators, thought leaders, entrepreneurs and advocates to explore how breakthroughs in urban tech can accelerate the sustainable transformation of urban spaces.
Join the Session on 30 March 2023
02:45 - 03:30 pm GREEN BUILDINGS & PROPTECH
How do we decarbonize the energy system of the building stock, infrastructure, and cities? How do we create Business showcases in a decentralized and sustainable energy generation. How do we reach the energy efficiency of residential and commercial buildings?
Speakers:
// Samira Aden, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin // Karolina Attspodina, WeDoSolar // Fabian Reetz, Everyone Energy //Gerrit Peters, Below2 // Moderation: Totinia Hörner
The UIF 2023 is a partner event of the Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue (BETD) from the Federal Goverment.

Best Innovator Award 2023 for Artem Musiienko
Dr. Artem Musiienko has been awarded a special prize for his groundbreaking new method for characterising semiconductors. At the recent annual conference of the Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) in Milan, Italy, he received the MCAA Award for the best innovation. Since 2023, Musiienko has been carrying out his research project with a postdoctoral fellowship from the Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions in Antonio Abate's department, Novel Materials and Interfaces for Photovoltaic Solar Cells (SE-AMIP).

14 parameters in one go: New instrument for optoelectronics
An HZB physicist has developed a new method for the comprehensive characterisation of semiconductors in a single measurement. The "Constant Light-Induced Magneto-Transport (CLIMAT)" is based on the Hall effect and allows to record 14 different parameters of transport properties of negative and positive charge carriers. The method was tested now on twelve different semiconductor materials and will save valuable time in assessing new materials for optoelectronic applications such as solar cells.
