GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH operates a worldwide unique large-scale accelerator for heavy ions. Every year about 1,000 researchers from around the world use this facility for experiments that help them make fascinating discoveries in basic research. The scientific goal is to gain new insights about the building blocks of matter and the evolution of the universe. At GSI for example six new elements have been discovered. In addition GSI scientists develop new applications in medicine and technology, e.g. a new type of tumor therapy using ion beams. |
The National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) is the Italian research agency dedicated to the study of the fundamental constituents of matter and the laws that govern them, under the supervision of the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR). It conducts theoretical and experimental research in the fields of subnuclear, nuclear and astroparticle physics. home.infn.it/en |
The mission of the Innovation Value Institute (IVI) is to research, develop, and disseminate empirically proven and industry-validated IT best practice through open innovation and collaboration between leading academic and industry practitioners. IVI was co-founded in 2006 by Maynooth University and Intel to achieve this and to create a global standard for IT management: ‘The IT Capability Maturity Framework’. https://ivi.ie/ |
