“Into the great wide open?“ A discussion of current research methods at the international STI conference on science, technology and innovation indicators in Berlin

The 28th International Conference on Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators 2024 came to a close in Berlin today. At the three-day event, over 350 participants from the research community discussed the complex dynamics between concepts of openness and closedness in science, technology and innovation, and their impact on research, policy and practice. The Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI was the main organizer of the conference, which was co-hosted by the Humboldt University of Berlin (Robert K. Merton Center for Science Studies) and the German Center for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW) in collaboration with the European Network of Indicator Developers (ENID).

Which research and innovation approaches can help the EU achieve a sustainable supply of critical raw materials

Raw materials are crucial resources when it comes to prosperity and quality of life in the European Union. However, various raw materials are categorized as critical due to the uncertain supply situation. Through research and innovation, the European Union can improve its supply of critical raw materials – but how exactly can this be achieved? A new study led by Fraunhofer ISI on behalf of the STOA Panel of the European Parliament (EP) sheds light on the role of research and innovation along the value chain, it identifies research needs and evaluates concrete proposals for measures in terms of costs, benefits and feasibility.

Electric trucks: How many fast-charging locations are needed in Europe?

A new joint study by Fraunhofer ISI and Amazon provides critical insights as to the optimal number and location of public fast-charging stations required to enable the widespread electrification of long-haul trucking in Europe. Using traffic flow estimates for 2030, the study built on Amazon’s open-source CHALET tool to analyse 20,000 potential public truck charging locations along the major European highways and a large data set of 1.6 million truck trip combinations. The results suggest that just 1,000 charging stations equipped with Megawatt Charging System (MCS) outlets could enable about 91% of expected long-haul trucking traffic.

Quantum communication: How will “quantum-secure“ communication technologies develop in future?

Fraunhofer ISI and Saarland University have analyzed three generations of quantum communication in a new study. The study’s quantitative monitoring gives insights into patent development, projects future growth, and compares international research strategies. The study, which was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, also examined how Germany and Europe stand in an international context.
