MAKING ACADEMIA-INDUSTRY COLLABORATIONS WORK
12 June
Research collaborations are becoming increasingly common. Several research grants and career advancement opportunities are directly linked to research collaboration.
Collaborations in research come in many forms, including co-authorship, research network building, joint research, and research partnerships. Early career researchers, in particular, stand to gain a lot from collaborations, either by getting involved in existing research groups, or by looking for collaborators whose skills are complementary to theirs. In a recent webinar from ELSEVIER, researchers will get an good idea how (and why) to collaborate with industry, how international collaborations work, and how to create a sustain research collaborations over time. Vienna Scientific fully commits to cross-sectoral collaboration and is actively searchers for R&D partners from academia.
"FUTURE ARCTIC" PROJECT FUNDED
30 May
Vienna Scientific Instruments is happy to confirm that the "FutureArctic" project within the EU call H2020-MSCA-ITN-2018 was accepted for funding. Many thanks to the consortium leaders at University of Antwerp for excellent coordination during proposal phase! We are looking forward to collaborate with 14 partner organisations in this great project - pushing forward our knowledge on C cycles in arctic ecosystems and contributing to the cross-sectoral training of a future generation of European researchers! Within the consortium, VSI will lead efforts to automatise root imaging in situ under arctic climates and to develop new methodologies to facilitate automatic root segmentation using hyperspectral imaging in minirhizotron studies. Read more about the project FutureArctic.

CROSS SECTIONAL COLLABORATION WITH ENGINEERING COLLEGE MODLING

23 May
Together with the engineering college HTL Mödling we are engaged in a new R&D project, developing a cost efficient stand-alone IRGA system for continued soil CO2 efflux measurements in situ. Together with six junior engineers we will develop the mechanics, sensors and software in the course of 2018. We are very excited to work with these enthusiastic and skilled students and their teachers towards the Knowledge Society.

VIENNA SCIENTIFIC AND OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE
13 Jun
Many thanks to André M. Chagas from the Center for Integrative Neurosciences at the University of Tübingen, Germany for featuring Vienna Scientific Instruments at the 6th Bernried retreat conference, June 7th to 9th 2017, Germany. Vienna Scientific is and stays committed to accessible scientific products for everyone!
22 Mar
We are happy to announce that we developed a new imaging platform for minirhizotron systems. The new module will be used for all unidirectional types of MR camera systems - from manual indexing handle-systems to fully automated MR cameras. This will allow using a standardized user interface for all models and thus enhance usability for customers. Happy root imaging!
