MemrisTec
A huge number of projects, that applied for the priority program 2262 of DFG called „MemrisTec“, came together in Dresden for a poster session in front of the reviewers. Werner-Hartmann-Bau, so called for the microelectronics pioneer in Saxony, was the scenery for several hours of discussions among applicants and with the reviewers. The official DFG results are expected by the end of November 2023.
Keynote Talks of Stefan Slesazeck (NaMLab) and Christian Hochberger (TU Darmstadt) on non-volatile memory technologies and applications followed by a Poster Session – this has been the 16th Embedded Talk at FAU ESI in Erlangen.
At the Neuromorphic Computing Day at the Research Center Jülich, interested participants could learn about the nine projects from the MemrisTec poster. After an inspiring lecture by Wolf Singer the evening before, there were diverse speeches and talks by invited politicians, industry representatives and researchers throughout the day on August 30. During the breaks, demonstrator stands and posters could be explored.
DFG cordially invites all applicants of the second funding period to the review colloquium at TU Dresden on Wednesday, September 20, 2023.
As many applicants will arrive on Tuesday evening, September 19, we have reserved seats in the restaurant Sophienkeller to offer a place to meet for dinner on own costs.
For the ease of the organization, e.g. of the catering, please register with an informal e-mail to memristec@tu-dresden.de with the names of presenters for your project – thank you!

Gender inequality in science is a well-known phenomenon, e.g. for engineering domains in Germany. To compensate this, several activities of DFG and further institutions strive to support women to start studying these (e.g. STEM) subjects and/or stay in science. One result of the MemrisTec internal discussion was the setup of a MemrisTec Women Network discussing fitting measures to support women also with a limited budget.
To spotlight and discuss specifically the barriers of female researchers, some individuals from the MemrisTec Women Network invited friends to a Movie Night with the documentary „Picture a Scientist“ (2020, 93min). They met in small groups in different cities and discussed after watching the documentary how to better act locally to seal the “leaky pipeline”…
Richard Socher, CEO of You.com, visited TU Dresden on May 11, 2023. After an inspiring lecture he joined a podium discussion with other leading science experts on natural language processing. The event explored the intersection of AI, science, and industry, with a focus on the latest developments in natural language processing and their impact on different sectors. Socher and the panelists discussed the use of AI in industries such as healthcare, finance, and education, and delved into the ethical concerns surrounding its application. The conversation provided valuable insights into the future of AI and its potential to revolutionize various industries.
We kindly thank the Chief Office for Technology Transfer and Internationalization, the Chief Office Digitalization and Information Management, the Directorate Communication and Marketing as well as the Directorate Student Affairs and Continuing Education for their support in the event organization.
The 2023 episode of the MemrisTec Summer Schools will bring interested students and researchers in the european capital of micro- and nanoelectronics.
At MemrisTec2023 Teams from all nine projects of the DFG SPP 2262 Memristec met for 3 days in Frankfurt (Oder) at IHP to synchronize their progress during the last year.
For the upcoming extension of MemrisTec the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) would like set up the second phase of the research program as a commonly funded collaboration – and by this leveraging the world-class expertise of German and US scientists to better understand the physical phenomena underlying memristor operation, which, in turn, may accelerate the development of emerging research areas of world-wide scientific interest, such as non-volatile memory, in-memory processing, neuromorphic computing, and machine learning.
To initiate this more than 50 scientists from USA and Germany met on 2.2.2023 at TU Dresden, Germany, or joined online, to discuss the achievable research goals, develop ideas for project collaborations and support the directions of the call planned to be publicly announced in March/April 2023.
