BMBF highlights ARTIBLED efforts on supporting the EU Green Deal

Under the title „Germany supports the EU Green Deal – Industrial Key Technologies for the European Green Deal“, the NKS DIT and BMBF have highlighted 10 NMBP and FETOPEN projects funded under the Horizon 2020 Framework Program for Research and Innovation.

ARTIBLED was selected due to i) its strong commitment with the European Green Deal, ii) the significant added value for the lighting industry, and iii) the relevance to exemplify that cross-border cooperation pays off for every single participant.

Chemical Journeys 2022, Turin – Italy

On Thursday, 22nd of December, Sara and Luca participated to “Chemical Journeys 2022”, an event that takes place every year at the University of Turin, Italy. In this context, they presented their journey into science from the Bachelor to the ongoing PhD to an audience of under graduated students, discussing their research topics as well as their experience studying across several countries in Europe and being involved in European Research Projects.

Science under the Christmas tree in Bari, Italy!

Sara and Luca participated to a conference in Bari (Italy, 19th and 20th December 2022), where they presented their research at “Chemistry under the Tree 2022” with oral contributions. The focus of the event has been on the green transition towards a more sustainable future. Sara presented her research topic discussing about Deep-red Bio-Phosphors for Highly Performing Low-Energy Bio-Hybrid Light-Emitting Diodes, while Luca presented Biogenic electrolyte for highly performing and self-stable light-emitting electrochemical cells, highlighting the effort of the Chair of Biogenic Functional Materials towards the development of sustainable bio-derived materials for optoelectronics.

Our Bio-HLEDs flew to Boston!

Sara brought Bio-HLEDs to Boston! She held an oral presentation at the Material Research Society Fall Meeting and Exhibit 2022, discussing about “All Bio-Phosphors for Highly Performing Low-Energy Bio-Hybrid Light-Emitting Diodes” in the context of symposium SB08 about Sustainable Functional Materials in Photonics, Electronics and Biology.

EIC Podcast: Vertical farming – will factory-grown food become the new normal?

It was a great pleasure to participate in this European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) sponsored discussion on vertical farming with new innovations as our Bio-LEDs developed in ARTIBLED.

Thank you Antonio Marco Pantaleo, Rubén Costa, Galina Gorshkova, Prashanth Makaram and Aoife Mangan Brite.

Sustainability Day 2022: Integrating protein in energy technologies

On the 27th of October 2022, the Chair of Biogenic Functional Materials contributed to the TUM Sustainability Day, showing how to integrate protein materials in energy technologies during the colloquium „What role do materials play in sustainability?„. Sara held the presentation illustrating how to build up bridges between biology and optoelectronics towards sustainable devices. She also highlighted ARTIBLED project strategy in this direction.
