100 years of innovaton from Adlershof14.04.2009 00:00 In 2009 Berlin-Adlershof, the city of science, technology and media, celebrates a history of 100 years in innovation. It started on the 26th September 1909 with the first motorized flight in Germany on the airfield Johannisthal-Adlershof. German aviation history is intricately connected with Berlin-Adlershof (see link to 100 years DLR). Starting in 1947 the site developed into the top location for natural sciences of the former academy of sciences of the GDR. Today, Adlershof is home to six institutes of the Humboldt-University and eleven non-university research institutions - all highly renowned and internationally well connected - working on cutting edge research in the forefront of key technologies of the 21st century. The main focus is on optical sciences and micro-systems technologies, on materials research and on applied mathematics and informatics. The scientists in Berlin-Adlershof make ample use of many synergies which arise from the possibiltiy of close, interdisciplinary collaboration - a speciality of Adlershof. This also includes more than 400 small, innovative commercial enterprises forming the basis of the Adlershof success story, which turns out to be a motor for economic growth in the whole region. Adlershof is a node in a multitude of networks for national and international co-operation.
The centennial year 2009 offers a variety of opportunities for exchanging ideas, reenforcing old connections and creating new ones, as well as for celebration, of course. Most recent developments in science and science politics will be discussed in several international symposia and discussion meetings. The opinions and expertese of colleagues from all over the world will be confronted with local developments and vision, creating - hopefully - a stimulating and inventive atmosphere for an excellent start into the next 100 years of innovation.
The programme of the centennial year is organized by:
