Workshop
Unconscious Bias
On Tuesday, March 4, 2025, members of the SFB 1316 participated in a workshop on the topic of Unconscious Bias led by Dr. Juliane Handschuh. The workshop's objective was to understand the impact of prejudices in scientific research and general work environments and learn to recognize unconscious biases in oneself and in the workplace. After Dr. Handschuh gave an introductory talk on the topic, the group was divided into groups of Early Career Researchers (ECRs) and Principal Investigators (PIs) to encourage an open exchange. In preparation for the workshop, participants had been encouraged to anonymously submit personal incidents where they experienced a bias. The group exercises were used as case studies and foundation for discussion. Together, strategies to recognize and adequately approach unconscious biases were developed as a directly affected person and as a bystander. At the end of the workshop, both groups joined again for a final discussion. The workshop provided valuable insights into the complex topic of unconscious biases and has provided the members of the SFB with practical tools to foster a more inclusive research environment.
MGK Kolloquium 2024
Erneuter Austausch zwischen jungen Forschern beim MGK Kolloquium
Das MGK Kolloquium 2024 des SFB 1316 fand vom 21. bis 23. Februar in Heidelberg statt. Das Kolloquium ist als Treffen in lockerer Atmosphäre gedacht, bei dem die jungen Forscher des SFB 1316 zusammenkommen, um ihr Wissen austauschen zu können. Das Treffen begann mit einer Führung durch das Schloss Heidelberg. Während der 90-minütigen Führung erfuhren die Teilnehmer viel über die Geschichte Heidelbergs und des Schlosses.
Am Donnerstag und Freitag fand der wissenschaftliche Teil in der DJH Jugendherberge Heidelberg statt. In Projektpräsentationen und zwei Postersessions stellte jeder Teilnehmer seine Fortschritte vor. Ein eingeladener Referent vom "Laboratoire de Physique des Plasmas" in Palaiseau, Frankreich, hielt einen wissenschaftlichen Vortrag zur CO2-Konversion.
Darüber hinaus wurden Referenten von großen Unternehmen wie der Hartmann-Gruppe, ASML und Zeiss sowie von einem Start-up-Unternehmen, Lidrotec, eingeladen, um ihre Unternehmen vorzustellen und zu erläutern, wie sie nach Abschluss ihrer Promotion zu ihrer jetzigen Position gekommen sind. Insgesamt war das MGK Kolloquium eine sehr erfolgreiche Konferenz und förderte den Austausch und die Kommunikation zwischen den jungen Forschern des SFB 1316.
MGK Colloquium 2024
Renewed exchange between young researchers at the MGK Colloquium
The MGK Colloquium 2024 of the CRC1316 took place from February 21 to 23 in Heidelberg. The colloquium is intended as a casual meeting where the young researchers of the CRC1316 can come together and exchange their knowledge.
The meeting began with a guided tour through Heidelberg Castle. During the 90-minute tour, the participants learned a lot about the history of Heidelberg and the castle. On Thursday and Friday, the scientific part took place at the DJH Jugendherberge Heidelberg. Each student presented their progress in project presentations and two poster sessions.
An invited speaker from the "Laboratoire de Physique des Plasmas" in Palaiseau, France, gave a scientific lecture on CO2 conversion. In addition, speakers from large companies such as the Hartmann Group, ASML and Zeiss, as well as from a start-up company, Lidrotec, were invited to present their companies and explain how they got to their current positions after completing their PhD. Overall, the MGK Colloquium was a very successful conference and fostered exchange and communication between the young researchers of CRC1316.

Research stay of Jan Kuhfeld in Japan
Jan Kuhfeld, an Early Career Researcher (ECR) affiliated with the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1316, has been chosen for a two-year research stay in Sapporo, Japan, through a fellowship granted by the Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS). During his stay, he will conduct optical diagnostics in Professor Sasaki's laboratory at Hokkaido University to measure particle densities of reactive species in atmospheric pressure plasmas.
The application process involved a two-week visit to Sapporo in April 2023, where the research project was elaborated upon in detail.
Junge Wissenschaftler
Forschungsaufenthalt von Jan Kuhfeld in Japan
Jan Kuhfeld, ein Early Career Researcher (ECR) des Sonderforschungsbereichs (CRC 1316), wurde erfolgreich für ein zweijähriges Forschungsstipendium in Sapporo, Japan, von der Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) ausgewählt. Während seines Aufenthalts wird er im Labor von Professor Sasaki an der Hokkaido Universität optische Diagnostiken einsetzen, um die Teilchendichten reaktiver Spezies in Atmosphärendruckplasmen zu messen.
Die Bewerbung für dieses Stipendium wurde durch einen zweiwöchigen Besuch in Sapporo im April 2023 vorbereitet, während dem das Forschungsprojekt detailliert ausgearbeitet wurde.
