Expression of interest for participation in the Global Talent Mentoring programme
The Foundation for Research and Technology (FORTH) participates in the Global Talent Mentoring initiative, http://gtm.iacm.forth.gr/. The Global Talent Mentoring is an innovative online platform, launched in 2020, with the purpose of networking exceptional new talents in the fields of sciences - STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Medicine) with acclaimed scientists around the world, who will provide them online, free mentoring with the goal of growing their talent.
Το ΔΣ του ΙΤΕ για την απώλεια του Δημήτρη Καφετζόπουλου
Το Ίδρυμα Τεχνολογίας και Έρευνας με βαθύτατη θλίψη αναγγέλλει το θάνατο του Δημήτρη Καφετζόπουλου, ερευνητή στο Ινστιτούτο Μοριακής Βιολογίας και Βιοτεχνολογίας, που έφυγε από τη ζωή στις 14 Μαρτίου 2020, έπειτα από γενναία μάχη με τον καρκίνο.
European Astronomical Society 's MERAC Prize to Aris Tritsis for Best PhD Thesis in Theoretical Astrophysics conducted at the University of Crete and FORTH
The European Astronomical Society has announced the award of the 2020 MERAC Prize for Best PhD Thesis in Theoretical Astrophysics to Dr. Aris Tritsis (https://eas.unige.ch/merac_prizes.jsp). The award represents the highest distinction of the European Astronomical Community for doctoral studies.
Successful completion of the 3rd Match & Develop a Startup Heraklion, investigating local business collaborations with research teams and Startups of Crete
The 3rd four-day bootcamp “Match & Develop a Startup Heraklion 3.0”, held on 7-8 and 15-16 February 2020 at H2B HUB and at the premises of the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH) at Vasilika Vouton - Heraklion, was successfully completed.
New Spin-off Company founded by FORTH for the production of photocatalytic materials that improve air quality
A new Spin-off company, that will leverage a patented technology developed by Prof. George Kiriakidis and Dr. Vassilis Binas, researchers at the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser (IESL, www.iesl.forth.gr), was recently founded by the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (www.forth.gr). This spin-off company, called PCN Materials, is the first of FORTH to be financed by the European Investment Fund (EIF) through the venture capital and private equity firm Big Pi Ventures (https://bigpi.vc/).
Researchers provide new insights into the pathogenesis of epilepsy
The laboratories of Drs. Peyman Golshani (golshanilab.neurology.ucla.edu/) at the University of California in Los Angeles, Tristan Shuman (http://labs.neuroscience.mssm.edu/project/shuman-lab/ ) at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, and Panayiota Poirazi (dendrites.gr) at the Institute of Molecular Biology & Biotechnology (IMBB) at the Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas (FORTH), joined forces in order to uncover how epilepsy affects spatial navigation in epileptic mice
FORTH coalition awarded a “4 Stars” Reference Site status for the Region of Crete in the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing
Ambient air THz source shines bright
A major frontier in strong field laser physics and nonlinear optics is the interaction of powerful terahertz (THz) pulses with matter. A plethora of scientific challenges and applications are presently under study, like table-top electron acceleration, THz-enhanced attosecond pulse generation and strong electric and magnetic THz field interactions with matter.
FORTH-IESL Researchers explain how disorder in tiny crystals enables heat-therapeutic systems
A new research study at the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser (IESL) of FORTH finds that minute crystals, many thousand times smaller than a particle of dust, when they are dressed by the right kind of imperfections, adjust their electronic properties to favorably convert energy into heat, an important attribute for potential use in smart materials for energy, health, sensors etc.
A new icy planet detected in our nearest exoplanetary system
Strong indications for the existence of a second planet in orbit around Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the Sun, have been recently unveiled by an international team of scientists.
