The project "Optoelectronic sensors for application-oriented systems for life sciences and intelligent manufacturing - OASYS" is a research cooperation between four partners.

• Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU)
• Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS
• Ferdinand-Braun-Institut | Leibniz Institute for High Frequency Technology (FBH)
• IHP | Leibniz-Institute for Innovations for High Performance Electronics

Motivation and goal:
The application-oriented development projects within the project fund the innovation and competitiveness of regional companies, research institutions and the Lusatia region, thus contributing to structural change. The transfer of development results takes place through the strategic involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises and the local training of specialists in the high-tech sector, who are then available to the local economy.

Approach:
The project is based on the unique technical features of the non-university research institutions involved in photonic sensor technology and microsystems technology. The expertise of the partners involved will be brought together in Cottbus in the vicinity of the Brandenburg University of Technology. In application-oriented sub-projects, the further technical development is coordinated and addressed for future use in socially relevant subject areas.

Photonic and in particular optoelectronic sensor technology forms the backbone of future sensory high technology. With a variety of non-contact characterization methods, it paves the way for technical competitiveness in the fields of industry, medicine and robotics. The project addresses the recommendations of the "Growth, Structural Change and Employment" commission for the reorientation of the Lusatian region. Through the strategic integration of regional companies and the training of regionally connected specialists, the project forms the basis for direct and indirect jobs in the high-tech sector. In the long term, the transfer of the generated results is to be realized through the initiation of spin-offs.

Details:

The three non-university research institutes involved contribute their many years of experience in the field of sensor and microsystems technology and work together with the Brandenburg University of Technology at their branch offices in Cottbus. On the BTU side, two professors from Faculty 1 are involved and a total of more than 20 scientists are working on this project.

The topics addressed include:
Industry 4.0 | Agriculture 4.0 | Smart Health
