Recognition for scientific contribution to sustainable energy transition

Petra de Jongh, Professor of Catalysis and Energy Materials at Utrecht University, receives the Gilles Holst Medal 2023. The jury praises her interdisciplinary approach, her tireless quest for knowledge, and the industrial applications that emerge from her research on nanomaterials.

Catalysts

De Jongh's expertise spans many areas. She conducts fundamental research on nanomaterials that can be used as catalysts, or for storing and converting renewable energy. Her research mainly focuses on the role of catalysts - substances that accelerate chemical reactions - in enabling efficient chemical conversions.

Towards a sustainable energy transition

Using advanced methods, De Jongh investigates the relationship between the structure and effectiveness of catalysts. Her research, in collaboration with relevant companies, paves the way for new processes, such as, for example, sustainable methanol, hydrocarbon or ammonia synthesis, the key processes on the road to the circular economy.

International and transdisciplinary symposium on surveillance experiences

April 8th - 9th 2024, at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

The symposium will provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, artists and experts from various fields to share insights, findings, and perspectives related to the intersection of AI, surveillance, public safety and human experiences.

The widespread integration of AI into surveillance technologies within the realm of public safety has become increasingly prevalent, exemplified by the likes of biometric and emotional recognition, anomaly detection, DNA banks, crowd control, round-the-clock monitoring, and other forms of data-intensive surveillance. This phenomenon prompts crucial inquiries into its effects on the human experience.

The ambition of the symposium is to explore the multidimensional facets of AI-surveillance and its implications for public safety – encompassing beyond its technological and judicial issues to its emotional, social, and cultural contours. Building on the research in surveillance and AI, the aim of the symposium is to explore how AI-surveillance is experienced by individuals who define, judge, and have emotions related to being watched or being a watcher.

The deadline for proposals is January 15th, 2024. The symposium is free of charge and has limited spaces. Information about keynotes, potential topics and further (contact)details can be found via this Erasmus-website.
