Radboud voucher project evolves into consortium on neuromorphic computing
With a voucher from the Interdisciplinary Research Platform (IRP), Johan and his colleagues had the opportunity to investigate if it was possible to make scientific calculations more efficient and faster using neuromorphic hardware.
Grant for research into neuromorphic computing
NWO is awarding a grant to Johan Mentink's research into neuromorphic computers. These computer systems could drastically reduce the energy consumption of hardware in the future.
Twelve interdisciplinary research groups receive an IRP voucher
Twelve research groups of the Faculty of Science have received a voucher of €50,000 each to work on an interdisciplinary research project.
Protecting your wine harvest with essential oil
When Chris Pelzer saw his entire grape harvest fail due to a disease, he decided to explore how he could prevent this in future. He joined biologists Janny Peters and Rob de Graaf to find a biological approach to nip downy mildew in the bud.
Breakthrough: scientists develop artificial molecules that behave like real ones
Scientists from the Radboud University have developed artificial molecules that resemble real organic molecules. A collaboration of researchers simulated the behaviour of real molecules by using artificial molecules.
IRP Voucher Call 2024 (closed)
In total, 12 vouchers with a maximum of 50,000 euro will be granted to stimulate novel research lines connecting two or more institutes within the Faculty of Science.
Using data to make the world safer
Nils Jansen, working in Nijmegen as an Associate Professor, gained an EU subsidy for his research into how to make AI safer. And that is good news, because there is still a lot to gain on this subject.
Brain-inspired computing makes computations more energy efficient and faster
Neuromorphic (brain-inspired) hardware can perform scientific computations faster and more energy-efficiently than conventional computing systems. Potentially, it can even perform calculations that are not yet possible with current computer systems.
ERC Advanced Grant for research on ultrafast and energy efficient data storage
Alexey Kimel, Professor in Ultrafast Spectroscopy of Correlated Materials of Radboud University has been awarded an Advanced Grant of the European Research Council (ERC) to develop new technologic concepts for ultrafast, low dissipative data storage.

IRP Voucher Call 2022 (Closed)
The IRP will stimulate interdisciplinary research projects between different institutes within the Faculty of Science and/or external stakeholders by funding short term research projects (vouchers).
IRP vouchers awarded to 12 interdisciplinary research projects
Twelve research groups of the Faculty of Science have received a voucher of €50,000 each to work on an interdisciplinary research project as part of the faculty voucher arrangement of the Interdisciplinary Research Platform (IRP).
Interdisciplinary Research Platform launched
The Faculty of Science has officially launched the Interdisciplinary Research Platform with a kick-off symposium. The platform aims to connect researchers from different research institutes and stimulate them to start collaborative projects.
