Selected projects
Under the third call for projects of the Science Offensive, seven projects that are both highly scientific and contribute to a strong Upper Rhine metropolitan region will receive funding.
This means that over the next three years, almost 8 million euros will be invested in the Upper Rhine research and innovation cluster. The funds come from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under the INTERREG Upper Rhine programme, public funds from the federal states of Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate, the Grand Est region and Switzerland, as well as contributions from the participating research institutions.

The VIRTFac project focuses on the development of a digital platform enabling companies to design cyber-physical production systems. The platform, with the help of which factory processes can be represented virtually, will also provide various computational tools for the redesign or optimisation of production systems. In addition, the project addresses fundamental research questions concerning the emerging needs related to the introduction of virtual industrial planning platforms.

The DialogProTec project aims to develop a bio-chip process to make the use of chemical pesticides more environmentally friendly. The focus is on the consumption of fungicides in agriculture. The biochip method aims to identify the specific chemical communication between pathogen and host and then to develop chemical plant protection strategies that do not cause side effects.

In the ACA-MODES project, an approach for planning and controlling decentralised and (virtually) networked hybrid energy systems is to be developed on the basis of numerical methods and a demonstrator. Through intelligent networking and monitoring of existing systems, the acquired flexibility can be used to support the grid. For this stable grid operation, consultation and data exchange processes between the different actors in technical, economic and regulatory terms are necessary.
