Scholars at Risk Network H-EarlySlavic Scholars At Risk Network Discussion published by Clare Griffin on Wednesday, September 21, 2016 Dear Colleagues, German universities are currently discussing how to best support researchers and academics whose lives and work are under threat. From the Scholars At Risk Network: "Their countries are plagued by war, the freedom of their research is restricted or they are subject to persecution: in many parts of the world, academics are at risk. But how can we best support these researchers? Can German universities provide a safe haven for them to continue their work? In Bonn today, 20 universities and research institutions are founding the German Section of the Scholars at Risk Network (SAR) in order to coordinate a response to these issues and draw attention to infringements of academic freedom. The SAR Germany Section represents Germany in the global SAR Network which includes over 400 higher education institutions in 40 countries. The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation will host the secretariat of the German Section until March 2019. The SAR Germany Section will also support the Philipp Schwartz Initiative, a programme jointly developed by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and the Federal Foreign Office that supports threatened researchers through research fellowships at German universities. In aiding threatened researchers, the Humboldt Foundation will also continue to partner with the Scholar Rescue Fund and the Council for At-Risk Academics. “Cooperation with universities all over the world is crucial if we are going to help threatened researchers,” commented Thomas Hesse, Deputy Secretary General of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Sinead O’Gorman, European Director of the international Scholars at Risk Network, emphasised, “We are delighted to mark the founding of the SAR Germany Section. By joining forces in this way, German universities can do even more to support threatened scholars, and help foster the conditions necessary for free intellectual exchange.” The founding members of the German Scholars at Risk Network are: University of Bayreuth Alice Salomon Hochschule Berlin Bard College Berlin Freie Universität Berlin The Berlin School of Economics and Law International Psychoanalytic University Berlin Bielefeld University Ruhr-Universität Bochum University of Bonn TU Darmstadt Citation: Clare Griffin.

The full-time programme has a duration of two years (four semesters). The programme aims to provide students with analytical tools and theoretical knowledge that help to understand and explain the interrelation between institutional structures, political processes, and the social and cultural foundations of democracy. Students shall develop a broad, comparative understanding of the mechanisms behind democratic processes from a historical and social scientific perspective. Thus, students will acquire the competence to assess present-day democratic developments on a national and supranational level. They will obtain theoretical knowledge and gain advanced insights into comparative research methods in history and the social sciences. The interdisciplinary curriculum focuses on political, economic, historical, social and cultural aspects of democratic ideas, institutions, and structures within and outside Europe.

    Scholars at Risk | Germany Section | NRW Group 2021 Support Program for Scholars at Risk © University of Bonn About In 2021, five of the Scholars at Risk member institutions in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) offer a joint support program for at-risk scholars. It is primarily aimed at the Philipp Schwartz fellows of the participating institutions, but other interested at-risk scholars may also apply for participation. By offering seminars and workshops on various research and career related issues, the program intends to facilitate the start of a new professional life here in Germany. Who can participate? Philipp Schwartz fellows of the involved institutions and other interested at-risk scholars. How to participate? If you’d like to participate, please express your interest to the institution closest to your current place of residence. Contact details can be found below. If you are not already known to the contact person, you may be asked to submit a CV and a letter of motivation. The respective institution will then decide on your application in a timely manner. Joining the program is possible anytime. What’s on offer? The program consists of five modules each comprising at least one lecture or workshop. Further seminars can be added if required. Participation in all events is desirable, but not mandatory. It is also possible to join only selected events. Invitations with detailed information will be sent to the group members in due time before the event takes place. We kindly ask for your understanding that it is not possible to participate without prior registration. Participation is free of charge.

  • New Materials in North Rhine-Westphalia
    New materials in North Rhine-Westphalia Facts. Figures. New materials in North Rhine-Westphalia data: as of January 2021 2 New materials have become an outstanding economic factor for Germany as a business location. More than two thirds of all technical innovations are directly or indirectly attributable to new materi- als and they thus have a direct influence on the competitiveness and performance of industry, in particular the major sectors chemistry, energy supply, vehicle construction, information and com- munication technology, plastics, mechanical engineering, metal production and processing. In Ger- many, these sectors, excluding tertiary suppliers, represent annual sales of over 1.8 trillion euros and around 4.2 million employees, with North Rhine-Westphalia accounting for around 20 percent in each case. Outstanding scientific research facilities combined with the high concentration of important materi- als for manufacturing sectors of industry, in some cases with a long tradition, make NRW a region with high materials expertise. There are over 720,000 jobs, 200 billion euros in sales and more than 6,000 companies and research facilities linked directly to new materials in NRW. This puts NRW in first place in a nationwide comparison ahead of Baden-Württemberg and Ba- varia. Focal areas of research are to be found in the Aachen region, Bochum and Paderborn, while the main business emphasis lies in the Ruhr Metropolis (Bochum, Dortmund, Duisburg, Essen) and the Rhineland. NRW is thus one of the most important locations in Germany for new materials. Company examples 3M Deutschland GmbH, Neuss Established: 1951; sales: €2.4 billion; employees: 6,800 (D/A/CH-Region) (96,000 worldwide).

  • Corporate News
    CORPORATE NEWS Researchers working on process development for high- volume manufacturing of innovative 2D nanomaterial products “HEA2D” consortium aims to create basis for end-to-end processing chain for two-dimensional nanomaterials Herzogenrath/Germany, July 19, 2016 – AIXTRON SE (FSE: AIXA; NASDAQ: AIXG), a worldwide leading provider of deposition equipment to the semiconductor industry, is working together with five partners in the “HEA2D” project to investigate the production, qualities, and applications of 2D nanomaterials. When integrated into mass production processes, 2D materials have the potential to create integrated and systematic product and production solutions that are sustainable in social, economic, and ecological terms. Using 2D materials will help to address topics such as climate change, an environmentally-friendly and affordable energy supply or mobility, addressing the increasing scarcity of resources. These materials also enable new and innovative solutions to be explored. Even though the potential harbored by this new class of materials has been demonstrated for increasing numbers of applications and with ever greater dynamism in a laboratory environment, attempts at high-volume product manufacturing functionalized with 2D materials have so far failed due to the fragmented production chain. In view of this, material-based innovations with 2D materials have not yet led to any major product innovations in practice. The joint project HEA2D is now researching an end-to-end processing chain consisting of various deposition processes for 2D materials, processes for transfer onto plastic foils, and mass integration into plastics components. AIXTRON’s partners for implementing systems technology and integrating materials into plastic molded parts are the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology (IPT), Coatema Coating Machinery GmbH (Coatema), and Kunststoff-Institut Lüdenscheid (K.I.M.W.).
