On November 11, 2021, the first kick-off event with the Leipzig University, TU Chemnitz, Fraunhofer ENAS and TH Wildau took place at the IOM. Under the leadership of Dr. Kirill Monakhov, group leader of the IOM working group "Switchable molecularly functionalized surfaces", the scientific exchange of researchers focused on the topic "Nanostructuring and chemical functionalization of surfaces: From basica to applications in nanoelectronics". In doing so, the interdisciplinary consortium set the goal of focusing joint efforts on the exploration of new phenomena at molecule-surface interfaces and on the integration of molecular logic technology into practical devices.
Only 14 interested parties were able to attend the meeting due to the Corona location. The next meeting of the research group is scheduled for mid-December to consolidate ideas and joint subprojects and identify additional partners.
