Quantum computers may break established cryptographic procedures and protocols in the near future. This poses a major challenge to our competitiveness and technological sovereignty. In order to be prepared for this, the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied and Integrated Security AISEC runs the Competence Center for Post-Quantum Cryptography. The aim is to implement post-quantum cryptographic solutions as quickly as possible. With the annual network event "PQC Update", Fraunhofer AISEC brings together researchers, users, providers and regulators on the topic of post-quantum cryptography. On May 13 and 14, 2024, you can enjoy an exciting agenda on the development of quantum computers, their impact on cybersecurity and the transition to quantum-resistant cryptographic methods. Join us in Garching near Munich!

Initiated by CIRP in 2013 the BioM Conference has developed into the world’s leading forum to discuss progress and future directions, set milestones and promote scientific exchange on biodesign, biofabrication and biomechatronics. The BioM Conference 2024 is headed “Future Production. Driven by Nature”. Experts from academia as well as industry will meet to discuss novel solutions, latest research findings and visionary ideas addressing biologically inspired processes and products in manufacturing, biological transformation and biointelligence. Futhermore, artificial intelligence and digital methods that will promote the transfer of biological principles into technosphere will be topics of the conference.

Join the conference "Models of Lung Disease" for experts in lung research at Fraunhofer ITEM in Hannover on June 20 and 21.

As one of the leading R&D institutes with many years of dry coating expertise, Fraunhofer IWS now provides a dedicated platform and launches the Dry Coating Forum (DCF). DCF is a forum for material suppliers, equipment manufacturers, cell makers, and end users to exchange information about current trends, developments, and challenges in the field of dry coating technologies.

ISPA 2024 will bring together researchers, scientists, and industry professionals from around the world to explore and discuss the latest advancements and applications in the field of piezocomposites. This years' symposium will feature three main research and application focuses: energy harvesting, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) applications as well as sonar Applications.
