Kick-off event for the Center of Interface Studies
- When: May 3, 2024, 1 - 4 pm
- Where: lecture hall of the HZDR, Bautzner Landstraße 400, 01328 Dresden
- register via link latest until April 26, 2024
The Center of Interface Studies (CIS) is a joint initiative of three HZDR institutes by combining the top-notch interface sciences competence: Helmholtz-Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HIF), Institute of Fluid Dynamics (IFD) and Institute of Resource Ecology (IRE). The CIS focus is on the understanding of fundamental processes at interfaces relevant for important technological applications, such as materials processing, heat transfer, hydrodynamics and environmental engineering. Therefore we use state-of-the-art portfolios of both competences and methodologies at HZDR focusing on specific and cross-cutting scientific interfacial phenomena. The aim is the joint development and further optimization of advanced analytical, spectroscopic, interfacial, and simulation techniques. And above all the CIS provides a one-stop contact point for future external collaboration partners by bundling all the respective expertise.
