Colloquium

Prof. Katherine Morris (University of Manchester) "The UK Landscape in Nuclear Decommissioning and Waste Disposal – an Environmental Radiochemistry Research Perspective "

The talk will start with briefly reviewing the nuclear landscape in the UK. I will then introduce the University of Manchester Dalton Nuclear Institute and its research themes noting key new National Nuclear User Facilities (NNUF) available in Manchester and across the UK of interest to the international radiochemistry community. I will then highlight examples of recent research from the University of Manchester including our research within the Sellafield Ltd. Effluent Centre of Expertise. Highlights include evidence for Fe13 Keggin cluster formation in the iron (oxyhydr)oxide precipitation process used to clean up acidic effluents from reprocessing and decommissioning and exploration of the interactions of U(VI) and Pu(IV) with the iron (oxyhydr)oxides formed during effluent treatment. Additional research on treatment of effluents from the Sellafield legacy ponds and silos will also be discussed with U(IV)-colloid behaviour and U-interactions with hydrotalcite highlighted and with the microbial ecology of key legacy ponds at Sellafield briefly discussed. This fundamental research has been applied at the Sellafield site to further reduce radioactivity in effluent discharges and increase the rate of decommissioning of key facilities and this research impact will be described. Finally, I will briefly introduce the Nuclear Waste Services Research Support Office, an innovative new research network between NWS, and the Universities of Manchester and Bristol which reaches across the UK and delivers underpinning research and research skills to support the UK’s radioactive waste disposal programmes.

This year's Helmholtz GPU Hackathon will take place at the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding CASUS in Görlitz. At the event, eight teams of five to eight participants will improve their AI or HPC research under the guidance of experts from laboratories, universities and leading companies in a collaborative environment. The goal of the GPU Hackathon is for all attendees to transfer and optimize their scientific applications to modern computer architectures, including CPU, GPU and other computing technologies. Teams should leave the event with either improved applications on the latest supercomputing hardware or with a clear roadmap for the next steps required to utilize these resources.

International Science Conference - "Building Bridges for the Next Generations 2024" at the International Congress Center Dresden.

Science has always been a neutral mediator, adept at building bridges and transcending boundaries, whether they are geographical, political, or societal in nature. This spirit was epitomized by the 2023 „Building Bridges for the Next Generations“ conference in Dresden. Building on this success, the Free State of Saxony aims to continue the fruitful dialogue that was sparked among international partners in Central Europe with a follow-up event: Building Bridges for a Net Zero Future.

Achieving Net Zero is a crucial objective because it holds the key to fostering sustainable economic growth and technological innovation. The strong infrastructure and connectivity in Central Europe, coupled with a rich history of scientific innovation, create an environment conducive to pioneering the transformative technologies and policies necessary to achieve Net Zero. The conference will thus focus on these key areas of research, that define the region of Central Europe:

  • Microelectronics (Green IT)
  • Sustainable Construction
  • Hydrogen
  • Fusion

Youtube link: Impressions of the Conference

The conference serves to present the excellent research in Central and Eastern Europe, especially Poland, Saxony and the Czech Republic, and in this way to position the region as an important science and technology location. The event is aimed primarily at young researchers, providing them with a platform for discussion with representatives from politics, business and society. On the one hand, this should provide participants with the opportunity to network within the scientific community across disciplines and borders in order to lay the foundation for cross-border cooperation in the long term. At the same time, they should have the opportunity to establish contacts with important decision-makers. Therefore, young companies and start-ups from the region should also be addressed.

Strongly Coupled Coulomb Systems (SCCS)

SCCS 2022 was held July 24-29, 2022 in Görlitz, Germany. The conference was hosted by the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS) at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf.

SCCS is an interdisciplinary conference focusing on strong Coulomb interactions in many-body systems. This is the fifteenth of a series of international conferences covering theory, simulation, and experiment.  

Systems and topics of interest are very diverse: dusty plasmas, electrons in semiconductors and nanostructures, charged colloids and DNA, astrophysical plasmas (planetary or stellar interior), quark-gluon plasmas, dense plasmas generated by shock waves or by laser/ion/electron beams, nonneutral and ultracold plasmas, dense hydrogen, and statistical and kinetic theories of strongly coupled Coulomb systems.  

The special feature and interest for this conference are that it brings together people from very diverse fields, researchers who nevertheless share a common interest in systems with one single unifying theme: strong Coulomb interactions. The SCCS Conference emphasizes common behavior and techniques arising from the strong Coulomb interaction, an emphasis that favors cross fertilisations that would otherwise never happen.
