Prof. Sebastian M. Schmidt, Scientific Director of the HZDR, will open the conference together with the Saxon Minister of Science, Sebastian Gemkow, Jana Havlíková, Deputy Minister of Science, Research and Innovation of the Czech Republic, and Signe Ratso, Deputy Director General for Research and Innovation of the European Commission: "Research at the cutting edge – that's how you can describe the challenge for modern science. The aim is to find solutions to global challenges. That’s why we need to form global teams. We have to network – with other scientific disciplines, internationally, with business and with politics. Our conference offers the appropriate podium.”
The conference is organized by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) on behalf of the Saxon State Chancellery.
