On 8. September 2022 the ZIM network "URMIT" on environmental heat for Central Germany will be presented for the first time
public and offers an opportunity for exchange and networking. That by the Federal Ministry of Economics
and climate protection funded innovation network is already developing approaches for research and development projects
in the areas of heat storage, heat pumps, river, sea and geothermal energy and is still open to new partners,
especially SMEs in central Germany. Further information about the event and registration: https://urmit.de |

The part of the IFU within the GREENPEG project is the geophysical surveying and drone-based data acquisition.
In the first period of the project, partner IFU was focusing on developing, setting up and testing the hardware for
ground- and drone-based hyperspectral data acquisition. This includes the heavy-duty drone system and the acousto-optical
monochromator for hyperspectral imaging. A detailed report on the project works can be found
here.
The video of our flights and results can be downloaded here. [file size ~250 MB] |

In the week from 18 to 22 October 2021, the 2nd Leinster Field Site Progress + Think Tank Meeting (Ireland) took place as part of the EU project Greenpeg.
IfU GmbH participated in this meeting and presents the results of the ground- and drone-based geophysical data, which can be used to explore
lithium-containing pegmatite occurrences.

On 16 th September 2021 the workshop “Methods for measuring and forecasting air quality” took place for the third time - this year as online conference.
The workshop offered a platform for the exchange of experience with national and European players, taking into account already existing scientific and entrepreneurial activities and competences. The workshop was divided into the three topics:
» measurement technology and innovationsYou can download the current lecture program here as a PDF.
The 1st public status workshop of the regional growth core HIPS took place as an online conference on 7th April 2021.
In the growth core HIPS, industrial companies and research institutions work together to bring the already patented SiCer technology, a unique combination of silicon technology (Si) with ceramic multilayer technology (Cer), to maturity. The common goal of the partners is to develop new high-performance sensors based on SiCer technology and to market them jointly in the future.
You can find our poster for download here.
After a multi-year measurement campaign in Erfurt, the MTP-5 of the climate agency of the Thuringian State Office for the Environment, Mining and Nature Conservation is again stationed in Jena. The first results on the urban climate in Erfurt can be seen on the TLUBN website.
The manufacture of devices for green energy production and storage in Europe is a strategic, fast-growing sector which
is essential in ensuring that the EU meets its energy and climate targets for 2030. A major limitation to this is that 95%
of the key raw materials for green energy devices are currently imported from outside the EU. Geologically, lithium-caesium-tantalum
(LCT) and niobium-yttrium-fluorine (NYF) pegmatites are relatively common in Europe, enriched in many CRM needed for energy technologies
but difficult to explore because most are buried, small and clustered.

We have been pleased to be an official member of the Freiberg Geocompetence Center (GCZ) since May 2020.
GCZ is actively involved in the implementation of the Saxon and European Raw Materials Strategy and, in particular, in the important issues of improving raw material awareness and R & D. GCZ supports the optimization of the framework conditions for responsible sourcing and the promotion of metallurgy as the "key enabler" of a circular economy.
Together with the project partners Lebosol, Senorics, Zaft e. V., Obsthof Schwitzky and Eurofins are researching the development of effective foliar fertilizers and a NIR measuring device for the convenient determination of foliar nutrients for optimal and sustainable plant nutrition in fruit growing. The project is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) as part of the ZIM program.
An overview of the project consortium and the project goals using the example of the sweet cherry can be found here.
On March 10th, 2020 our second workshop "Methods for measuring and forecasting the air quality (especially in metropolitan areas)" takes place at the BEST WESTERN Hotel am Schlosspark in 09577 Lichtenwalde. |

We successfully installed our device on top of the measurement trailer of MeteoFrance south of Bordeaux on 24th September 2019.
It will take part in the SOFOG3D campaign during the winter 2019/2020. The progress of the works at the different sites is shown
here.
You can find detailed information about the project on the SOFOG3D website as well as in an overview PDF. Thanks to Vinciane Unger and Pauline Martinet of MeteoFrance for the possibility to participate! |
