HZDR impresses with two project proposals in the "InfraProNet" program of the Free State of Saxony
In a multi-stage selection process, the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has acquired millions of euros in funding from the "InfraProNet" program for two research projects. In August 2023, the Saxon Cabinet approved the "InfraProNet" guideline for research funding for the current EU funding period until 2027 and is now supporting the two HZDR projects with financing from the European Regional Development Fund.

The ThaXonian project will receive almost two million euros for research into a new therapeutic approach for neurodegenerative diseases. This involves the reactivation of impaired motor neurons using magnetic fields. The aim is to transfer this new approach into clinical practice.

The TesCO2 project is also successful. It deals with the special state of carbon dioxide, known as supercritical CO2 (sCO2). Thanks to the funding of 870,000 euros, the scientists are able to add a heat storage unit and a high-pressure compression station to their existing large-scale test facility. This gives them the opportunity to research the role of sCO2 in energy storage systems.
