Coordination Funds

INTEREST SPP的愿景是通过在一个专门的协调倡议中采用全面的“集成”方法，建立一个定义明确的太赫兹社区。“集成太赫兹系统”的主题将实现太赫兹科学和技术领域中看不见的功能和应用。要实现这一目标，必须进行有效的科学协调。通过这一协调建议，我们不仅将工程、物理和自然科学领域的专家聚集在一起，发明突破性的太赫兹技术，而且我们还进一步创造协同效应，并使活动相互促进，以最大限度地发挥研究计划在国家和国际层面的影响。这是通过建立一个协作平台和数据库来实现的，以在联盟内外共享设备，项目结果和新颖的THz组件。我们将在SPP内成立共同科学小组，进一步研究探索性系统概念，并展示超越个人合作伙伴以往提出的创新想法。我们将与半导体代工厂谈判折扣，以释放额外的财务资源，为此类额外活动提供资金。我们创建了一个国际科学顾问委员会来指导我们的活动，并与其他太赫兹科学界建立联系，例如建立德国-英国合作伙伴关系，联合科学出版物，组织研讨会，主持网站，并通过社交媒体渠道进行沟通。通过促进女性候选人和关爱家庭的政策解决早期职业和性别问题。通过这一切，我们的目标是促进兴趣SPP突破现有的障碍，这些障碍今天仍然孤立现有的科学界。

The vision of the INTEREST SPP is to establish a well-defined terahertz community by following a holistic ‘integration’ approach in a dedicated coordinated initiative. The theme ‘Integrated Terahertz Systems’ will enable unseen functionalities and applications in the field of terahertz science and technologies. To accomplish this aim, effective scientific coordination is essential. With this coordination proposal, we not only bring together experts in engineering, physical and natural sciences to invent ground-breaking THz technologies, but we further create synergies and cross-fertilize the activities to maximize the impact of the research programs on the national and international level. This is done by establishing a collaboration platform and database to share equipment, project results, and novel THz components within the consortium and outside the SPP. We will form mutual science groups within the SPP to further research exploratory system concepts and demonstrate innovative ideas beyond what used to be proposed by the individual partners. We will negotiate discounts with semiconductor foundries to free-up additional financial resources to fund such additional activities. We create an international scientific advisory board to guide our activities and we reach out to other THz science communities, e.g. by establishing a Germany-UK partnership, joint scientific publications, organizing workshops, moderating a website, and communication through social media channels. Early career and gender issues are addressed by promoting female candidates and family-friendly policies. With all this, we aim to foster the INTEREST SPP for breaking through the existing barriers that are still isolating existing scientific communities today.
