The 36th<\/sup> Umbrella Symposium opened at the Technion on May 30, 2023. Its focus was on the subject of \u201cLife Science & Engineering: Data Analytics, Neuroscience & Multiscale Biomedical Engineering.\u201d<\/p>\n

These annual symposia are part of a long-time partnership between the Technion and two institutions in Germany: Forschungszentrum J\u00fclich and RWTH Aachen University. The partnership promotes scientific collaborations among the three institutions, and each year the location of the symposium rotates among them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This year\u2019s Umbrella Symposium marks 40 years of this strategic partnership, which was launched in 1983. The event began with opening remarks from Prof. Koby Rubinstein<\/strong>, Executive Vice President for Research at the Technion. \u201cIn the 40 years of our collaboration,\u201d Prof. Rubinstein said, \u201cthe world has changed, and science with it. But Umbrella remained at the forefront of scientific research. Few collaborations not only last for 40 years, but continue to produce revolutionary breakthrough research. May the next 40 years of our collaboration be as bountiful!\u201d<\/p>\n

Prof. Ute Habel<\/strong>, Vice-Rector for International Affairs at RWTH Aachen University said \u201cthis strategic partnership is of great importance to us. It is a notable element of our international standing. This partnership broadens our horizons and allows international and multidisciplinary work to tackle the great challenges humanity faces.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prof. Frauke Melchior<\/strong>, Member of the Board of Directors of Forschungszentrum J\u00fclich added that \u201cthis is the third symposium that deals with the connection between engineering and life sciences, a very important connection for both research and application. Without a doubt, this conference is an opportunity to make riveting science and to get better acquainted with the Technion.<\/p>\n

After the opening remarks on the first day, Umbrella Awards were conferred upon Dr. Arielle Fischer<\/strong> of the Technion Faculty of Biomedical Engineering (Wearable BioMonitoring: Integrating Motion and Biochemical Sensing), Dr. Roger Molto Pallares<\/strong> of RWTH Aachen University (Manipulating f-element chemistry for healthcare applications) and Dr. Stefan Wiefels<\/strong> of Forschungszentrum J\u00fclich (Variability-Aware Characterization of Memristors for Neuromorphic Applications). These prizes, worth \u20ac5,000 each, are given every year to outstanding researchers in the field covered by the symposium that year. The prizes are awarded since 2018, and are dedicated to furthering German-Israeli scientific cooperation. Each winner presented his or her research to the audience.<\/p>\n

The symposium took place at the Technion\u2019s Visitors\u2019 Center on May 30 \u2013 June 1, 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
