Künstliche Kühlung ist aus unserem Alltag nicht mehr wegzudenken – sie sichert unsere Lebensmittelversorgung, bewahrt Medikamente und verhindert das Überhitzen von beispielsweise Rechenzentren. Aber: Sie ist auch ein zentraler Treiber des globalen Energiebedarfs.

Im vom ERC geförderten Projekt CultCryo untersuchen Forscher*innen unter Beteiligung des ISOE die globale „künstliche Kryosphäre“ erstmals systematisch.

For the last decade, the #EU has been funding #Mastodon #KDE #Phosh #Nextcloud #OnlyOffice #PixelFed, #Libreoffice, #CryptPad, #Kdenlive, #Lemmy and many other Open Source projects you know and love through its #NextGenerationInternet programme.

But now that programme is ending and they are thinking about its successor.

They want to hear from you on what it should look like: Share your feedback to make sure the Commission keep funding amazing Open Source projects!
