Current events

The Network Motherhood and Science cordially invites you:

"Care and (Un)Fair? Discrimination against parents in research funding programmes". Panel discussion and presentation of pilot study and recommendations for action.

On 17.10.2024 from 5 - 7 pm in the seminar centre of the FU Berlin and online.

Parents and carers experience drastic disadvantages in the German academic world. Only if these are made visible can discrimination be counteracted. We invite you to discuss the results and recommendations for action from our pilot study with us and our panellists.

You can register for the event at this link [http://www.mvbz.fu-berlin.de/anmeldung-podiumsdiskussion]. You can find out more about the pilot study on our website [https://www.mutterschaft-wissenschaft.de/pilotstudie/]. 

Childcare is available on site. You can indicate your needs when registering.

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.

Science for Future: On the Path to Carbon Neutrality will be held from 29 to 30 October in Berlin-Adlershof Leopoldina and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). China and Germany have set themselves the goal of achieving carbon neutrality in the next few decades. The conference will discuss innovative approaches and exchange ideas on the best strategies. Keynote speakers include Prof. Dr. Benjamin List (Nobel Prize Laureate for Chemistry, 2021), Prof. Dr. Chunli Bai, former president of the CAS, and Prof. Dr. Klaus von Klitzing (Nobel Prize Laureate for Physics, 1985).

This conference aims for global community building, international cooperation and scientific discussions across continents around large-scale research infrastructures. Scientifically it emphasizes on energy research (e.g. photovoltaics, chemical energy conversion, energy storage) representing one of the most pressing global problems. We will cover scientific infrastructures and possibilities offered at synchrotrons which can act as crystallization seeds for global collaboration - the second focus of the conference. Access to large-scale infrastructures, remote experiments and modern opportunities by digitalization, AI and automated experiments will be discussed before the conference is rounded up by hands-on remote experiments. Topics: Sustainable Energy Supply / Chemical Energy Conversion / Energy Storage / Synchrotron Radiation Sources and Methods / The Role of Large-Scale Research Infrastructures and Global Collaboration / Digitalization and Open Science / Access and Remote Access / Hands-on Training
