INFECTOGNOSTICS RESEARCH CAMPUS JENA – A PARTNERSHIP IN INFECTION DIAGNOSTICS
ERDF: EUR 7.9 million - Jena - 29/2/2020 - Sector: smart growth
More medical advances are being made in Germany by connecting
labs, researchers and businesses. The InfectoGnostic Research Cam-
pus is a state-of-the-art facility that hosts numerous photonic tech-
nologies, an array of laboratories and a bio bank. It serves as a hub
for fast transnational science: technologists and scientists who typ-
ically work isolated in a university lab are now working directly with
clinicians and pharmaceutical and medical companies. Gaps in the
medical value chain can only be overcome by direct public-private
partnerships, and this cooperation is highly beneficial for all the par-
ties involved.
TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY – RAILWAYS
ERFURT-LEIPZIG/HALLE(SAALE), MODULE 3 – OVERHEAD CONTACT WIRE IN SECTION
THURINGIA, GERMANY
ERDF: EUR 10.4 million - Thuringia - Sector: transport
The main aim of the project is to reduce the travelling time between
Erfurt and Halle (from 77 to 31 minutes) closing one of the high-
speed (up to 300km/h) rail gaps on the TEN-V rail connection Ber-
lin-Leipzig/Halle-Munich-Verona.
Connecting Erfurt to Leipzig and Halle completes the missing sec-
tion of a continuous line crossing Germany from north to south, from
Hamburg to Munich. The modernisation and completion of the railway
not only reinforces national and European mobility, but also creates
jobs during and after project implementation: to be more precise, an
estimated 808 jobs during – and 696 jobs after – its implementation.
