30 years of German Unity and a lot more to celebrate! Since 1999, around 600 initiatives have been funded by the programs "Entrepreneurial Regions " and "Innovation & Structural transformation" with resources of around 2.2 billion euros by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

As part of a series of interviews with 30 great scientists of the funding programs, our colleague Dr. Anne Hartwig (Applied Analytical Photonics) was interviewed on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of regional innovation funding of the Ministry. Her vision is that ecologically sustainable production technologies - such as photon density spectroscopy  - will be standard in 30 years!
