HIU sharpen its research profile

The researchers of the Helmholtz Institute Ulm met for a two-day biannual meeting to develop long-term planning and solutions and to break new ground. The aim of the meeting was to take time for future issues of battery research aside of the day-to-day business and to develop strategic considerations for the coming years and to strengthen cooperation within the HIU.

 

Director Maximilian Fichtner highlighted the particular shape of the HIU with its four partner institutions, which makes it possible to use the salient capabilities of the partners and to unite in the different research groups under the umbrella of the HIU. “The HIU is well integrated into the national and European research collaboration, HIU representatives are involved in decision-making processes in the fields of energy policy and in particular battery research and also parts of our work have gained international attention,” Fichtner took stock of the five-year anniversary of HIU.

 

The meeting was characterised by efforts to further involve young scientists in the discussion on the future direction. The four interdisciplinary research topics, so to speak, the core business of HIU, in which all groups are working together, have been subjected to a critical analysis and have been adjusted. Moreover, it has been agreed to count on an even closer cooperation between the research groups, especially between the theoretical modelers and experimenters, and to arrange the research direction even more dynamic to enable entirely new discoveries.

 

“With more than 300 publications in international databases, the HIU has so many research articles published in their subject area than any other institution in Germany”, the deputy director Stefano Passerini praised at the end of the meeting.
