Congratulations to PhoenixD!

Leibniz Universität Hannover (LUH) @unihannover.bsky.social · May 16

Der Countdown läuft: Die #LUH bewirbt sich in der aktuellen Runde der Exzellenzstrategie um die Fortsetzung ihrer drei Exzellenzcluster. Wenn am 22. Mai 2025 zwei der Cluster weiterbewilligt werden, sichert dies die Qualifikation für die Förderlinie Exzellenzuniversität.

„Ohne Lichttechnologien gäbe es kein Internet, keine Smartphones, keine moderne Medizin. Bei PhoenixD entstehen bahnbrechende Ideen: von Hautkrebsscannern bis zu abhörsicherer Datenübertragung. Wir machen die Region zum Hotspot für Innovationen, die unser Leben sicherer, gesünder und smarter machen.“ Prof. Dr. Uwe Morgner, Sprecher des Exzellenzclusters PhoenixD
