The Friedrich Schiller University in Jena will receive more than €10 million in funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The funds will be used to acquire research-relevant equipment infrastructure, which will be used in cooperation with the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technologies (Leibniz-IPHT). This will expand the research focus on biophotonic and microscopic methods for applications in medicine and pharmaceuticals, as well as in the life and environmental sciences. This will not only enable further progress in quantum technologies, fiber optics, and biophotonics, but also the exploration of new interdisciplinary research topics. The "Roadmap for Better Patient Care through Health Research and Digitalization" and the "Artificial Intelligence Strategy" are important nationally relevant and innovation-policy-oriented policy decisions that will shape this project.
