09:00-11:00 Tour Tech Park Berlin-Adlershof
is one of the most successful high-technology locations in
Germany—and Berlin’s largest media site. Renowned non-university
research institutes, the natural sciences departments of
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 1,270 businesses and a rich history
awaits you at Berlin-Brandenburg’s top Science, Business and Media hub.
More than 34,000 people work and study in the science city of
Adlershof,which covers an area of 4.6 km². Learn more about all the
facts and figures.
Mr. Adrian Mahlkow (OpTecBB) will take you on a short walking tour of
the campus (as long as the weather permits it) and will introduce
you to the history of the location, elaborate on the main achievements
in the last three decades and will point out Photonics institutes and
companies. Be prepared for some interesting anecdotes.
Agenda here
11:00-13:00Travelling to ONE of the following institutes:
Max-Born-Institute (MBI) conducts basic research in the field of nonlinear optics and ultrafast dynamics in the interaction of matter with laser light and pursues applications that emerge from this research. It develops and utilizes ultrashort and ultrafast lasers and laser-based short-pulse light sources in a wide spectral range in conjunction with nonlinear
spectroscopy methods. The combined use of lasers with x-ray pulses from free electron lasers and synchrotrons complements this scientific program.
The Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung (IKZ) in Berlin-Adlershof is an international state-of-the-art competence center for science & technology as well as service & transfer for innovations in and by crystalline materials. The R&D spectrum thereby ranges from basic over applied research activities up to pre-industrial research tasks.
Crystalline materials are key technology enabling components to provide electronic and photonic solutions to today´s and future challenges in society such as artificial intelligence (communication, mobility etc.), energy (renewable energies, power conversion etc.) and health (medical diagnosis, modern surgical instruments etc.).
Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH) offers a lab tour that provides insights into the development of diode laser modules, spectroscopy modules and light control modules for applications in Quantum Technology, especially for deployment in space.
Learn about the process of module integration, from the development and characterization of micro components through the precise module assembly based on our unique hybrid micro-integration technology, to performance validation.
17:00-21:00 BarBQ- As part of Berlin Quantum, we want to bring together Berlin's quantum enthusiasts: BBQ takes place every second Tuesday of the month in a relaxed atmosphere above the rooftops of Berlin at leap. Food and drinks are provided.
Friday, October 10, 2025 Enduser Tour to Paul-Drude-Institute (PDI)
Paul-Drude-Institut für Festköroerelektronik (PDI) performs basic and
applied research at the nexus of materials science, condensed matter
physics, and device engineering. It is located in the heart of Berlin
near Gendarmenmarkt. We focus on the fabrication and analysis of
nanomaterials for semiconductor technology. Since our foundation in
1992, we have been dedicated to the advancement of materials science,
particularly in the development and application of molecular beam
epitaxy (MBE). We have the expertise and facilities in-house to manage
the entire process from growth of materials, to microstructural
characterization, spectroscopic analysis, and theoretical modeling. PDI
works closely with partners from science, industry and academia.
