Through the last decade, perovskite solar cells have achieved remarkable efficiency, with state-of-the-art performance exceeding 26%. Perovskite technology has matured to the point where it stands on the threshold of commercialization. However, the highest-performing perovskite devices are based on lead, which poses environmental risks that might hinder or delay the market reach of this technology. Environmentally friendly alternatives to lead are limited, with tin being the most promising candidate due to its competitive optoelectronic properties. However, the efficiency of tin perovskite solar cells lags far behind their lead counterparts due to significant fundamental challenges such as tin oxidation and energy band mismatch.

To unlock the potential of tin perovskites, we need to consolidate the efforts of the tin perovskite community and pool our resources. We must also increase research into tin perovskites and other possible lead-free technologies to find new solutions and achieve breakthroughs. In this context, the international workshop on lead-free perovskite solar cells stands out as an annual gathering for lead-free perovskite research groups to exchange ideas, foster collaborations, and showcase recent achievements.

The workshop is designed for professors and senior researchers to present their recent achievements and discuss potential future trends. It also aims to provide a platform for junior researchers and students to present their recent lab findings, network, and explore potential career pathways. Making the workshop online and free of charge would encourage participation from group leaders in remote locations and motivate students with limited research budgets to join.

With the series of annual user meetings we bring together our user community to intensify scientific exchange and stimulating new collaborations. The meetings will provide an overview of the many exciting and inspiring research results obtained at our facility in the past year. Plenary talks, discussions, a public lecture and a poster session will provide vast possibilities of information and discussion. The bestowals of the 'Prizes for Young Scientists' donated by the Freundeskreis Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin e.V. (FHZB) are traditional highlights of the user meetings.

Deadline for registration and poster submission: November 05, 2024 (23:59 CET).

Following the lively discussions and successful exchange on battery-related research at the first LEAPS-INNOV forum in January 2024 in Barcelona, this second event, named “Roadmap to the clean energy transition: How can LEAPS facilities support knowledge transfer”, is organized at HZB by WP9 of the LEAPS-INNOV project. This second forum focuses on developing concrete steps for drafting roadmap towards the clean energy transition. The forum will take place on the 27-29th of January 2025 in Berlin.

Key-player also is transferring knowledge achievements from academic institutions to industry and using the research results for applications to tackle societal challenges. As this process currently appears to be fragile, a session of the forum will be dedicated to industry. Within problem-oriented brainstorming sessions, industry representatives are invited to present their most demanding scientific questions, accessing the expertise of all participants and experts from related fields to develop methodologies for overcoming those challenges.

Enabling lively discussions and knowledge exchange, this forum aims to foster already established dialogues and creating new links within the battery community.

Target audience: LEAPS facility staff working with tools tackling battery research, user community representatives actively involved in developments and industry representatives

The German public sector has a notoriously bad reputation: too slow, too bureaucratic, too analogue.

Drawing from her hands-on experience in several AI projects on all federal levels, Anita Klingel will paint a different picture when it comes to the adoption of AI in government services: promising projects, competency and capacity building will enable many areas of public administration to deliver better services faster.

She will share best practices as well as the challenges and lessons learned in AI implementation.

As part of the EU project TRILMAX, HZB is to contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of institutions from new EU countries. This includes the strengthening of science-supporting structures.

During this workshop, various departments at HZB, including GF-TTI and A-FR, will present to the partners from Hungary processes and working methods at HZB that support HZB researchers in their scientific work.

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, 2008-2024. It is organised 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.

We are looking forward to your application

In diesem Webinar zeigen wir wie SciFlow Authoring den wissenschaftlichesn Schreibprozess vereinfacht, Zeit spart und komplexe Formatierungen vereinfacht.

-- Automatische Formatierung gemäß den Richtlinien --

Beim wissenschaftlichen Schreiben sind akribische Referenzformatierungen oft sehr  zeitaufwändig. SciFlow hat dafür eine Lösung: einfach SciFlow mit dem bevorzugten Referenzverwaltungsprogramm verbinden, Referenzen einfügen, und SciFlow die Formatierung überlassen.

-- Zugriff auf tausende Journal-Templates --

SciFlow bietet allen Nuztzenden mit einer Lizenz eine benutzerfreundliche Journal-Template-Datenbank, die den Zugang zu tausenden Templates von Verlagen wie Elsevier, Wiley, IEEE, Springer Nature und anderen ermöglicht. 

-- Wir zeigen in diesem Webinar alles wichtige für den Einstieg in SciFlow --

Dabei behandeln wir die folgenden Themen:

- Eine Einführung in SciFlow und den Schreibprozess.- Funktionalität und Arbeit mit Templates für best mögliche Nutzung der automatischen Formatierung- Kollaborative Funktionen für eine effektive Teamarbeit.- Eine interaktive Q&A-Runde, um alle Fragen zu beantworten.

With the series of annual user meetings we bring together our user community to intensify scientific exchange and stimulating new collaborations. The meetings will provide an overview of the many exciting and inspiring research results obtained at our facility in the past year. Plenary talks, discussions, a public lecture and a poster session will provide vast possibilities of information and discussion. The bestowals of the 'Prizes for Young Scientists' donated by the Freundeskreis Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin e.V. (FHZB) are traditional highlights of the user meetings.
