All events

We invite researchers, academics, and industry professionals to submit original contributions to the NOD Workshop 2025. The workshop will feature presentations and discussions on recent advances in the field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Materials for organic neuromorphic systems

- Device concepts and architectures

- Theoretical modeling of neuromorphic devices

- Optoelectronic organic neuromorphics

- Neuroelectronics and biointerfaces

We look forward to your contributions and to a stimulating exchange of ideas within this vibrant and interdisciplinary community.

The pre-workshop event will be held on October 7 and is dedicated to supporting early-career researchers, students, and newcomers in the field of neuromorphic organic devices.

Every two years, the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) honors outstanding achievements in technology transfer with its Technology Transfer Prize. The award is endowed with a total of 10,000 euros.

Technology transfer means turning innovation from research and development into new commercial services, processes, and products. With this prize, HZB recognizes and promotes the contributions of employees and former employees who have played a key role in bringing scientific ideas to practical use.

This year, 15 impressive applications were submitted. From these, an independent jury selected six outstanding projects that will compete for the main prize. But it’s not only the jury that decides—the audience also has a voice and can help determine who receives the award.

Towards eco-friendly perovskite technology

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.

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.

READY TO PITCH LIKE A PRO?

Would you like to define the impact you can create with your research? Do you want to communicate it in a way that it sticks to people, even outside of science? In this workshop for PhDs and postdocs you will get to know the key elements of the storytelling method and put them into practice to convey your own scientific ideas. In this workshop, you also learn and practise how to convince supporters or investors of your vision and personality. Develop your pitch storyline and receive feedback from our experts and an interdisciplinary team of peers.

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.
