Astrophysicist Norbert Werner has become the third grant holder of MUNI Award in Science and Humanities (MASH). After eight years at Stanford University in the United States, he moved to Loránd Eötvös University in Budapest, Hungary. He is also giving lectures in Hiroshima, Japan.
He will relocate to Masaryk University with his research beginning of July. As an expert on the behaviour of black holes or intergalactic gas in Brno, Werner wants to cooperate, among other things, with companies that deal with the development of small satellites.
Congratulations!
You can find the interview with Norbert Werner in the latest printed issue of Magazine M and soon also online.
The aim of the MUNI Award grant is to bring new excellent and successful scientists to MU, to whom we offer excellent conditions to produce top scientific results. In the past, the grant was received by Daniel Kráľ, the world's leading expert in graph theory who came to MU from the University of Warwick, and by Matthew Rampley, the world´s leading expert in the art history who came from the University of Birmingham.
At the beginning of April, the Day with ERC, an event for junior researchers took place. The aim of the discussion meeting for junior scientists is networking. Dr. Jakub Kelar from the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology was nominated as a representative from the Faculty of Science.
Since April 2024 for the next three years, CEPLANT center will lead the project COLOSSE funded by the Pathways to Synergies Call 2023 (Horizon Europe). COLOSSE connects Czech and Slovak research facilities in plasma-enabled surface engineering and boosts their potential for Horizon Europe and future EU R&I programs.
