The Friedrich Schiller University in Jena is receiving more than 10 million euros in funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The plan is to acquire research-relevant equipment infrastructure that is to be used in cooperation with the Leibniz-IPHT (Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technologies). This will expand the research focus areas of biophotonic and microscopic methods for applications in medicine and pharmacy as well as in the life and environmental sciences. This will not only enable further progress in the fields of quantum technologies, fiber optics, and biophotonics, but also the development of new interdisciplinary research topics. The “Roadmap for Better Patient Care through Health Research and Digitization” and the “Artificial Intelligence Strategy” are important nationwide and innovation-policy milestones for this project.
