The "Forum Junge Spitzenforschung" awards prizes for the most innovative applications in the field of sensors and data analysis

The tenth edition of the young talent competition for application ideas from research took place on November 14, 2023. Six teams of young scientists competed with their ideas in front of a jury of top-class business experts and the audience for first place, endowed with €10,000 for free further use in the context of their own research! Second and third place are endowed with €8,000 and €6,000 respectively, and the remaining finalists received prize money of €2,000.

The following research projects were honored with their application ideas:

1st place: Chip-integrierte Diamant-NV-Quantenmagnetfeldkameras, HU Berlin
2nd place: leaf.IQ, HU Berlin
3rd place: Smarter Limonen-Leberfunktionstest, FU Berlin

Each took 4th place:  
CP-Diadem, TU Berlin

Near-field Microscope with Quantum Light , HU Berlin

Our topic 2023:  
Sensors and data analysis in practical use

A large number of processes and products that we know today would not be possible without sensors and systems that measure and analyze - and sensors and data analysis will become increasingly important. Research on and with sensors as well as on systems for analyzing sensor-based data thus lay the foundation for many future technologies.

6 researchers, 
6 pitches, € 30,000 prize money.
