Stories of Physics2Market Fund
The Physics2Market fund offered researchers the opportunity to take physics research from lab to society. For example, by building a prototype or proof-of-concept study, collaborations with companies emerged. Raoul Frese – assistant professor at the Faculty of Science, Biophysics Photosynthesis/Energy at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam – received the last Physics2Market subsidy to further develop material to substitute mineral wool in greenhouses. Another example is Mazi Jalaal, assistant professor at the Institute of Physics at the University of Amsterdam. He received a Physics2Market grant to work out his idea on a new technique to measure the mechanical properties of soft materials, based on image processing and artificial intelligence. The fund was eligible for Researchers (permanent staff, incl. tenure track) of HvA, UvA, VU, Amsterdam UMC, Amolf and Nikhef.

An idea leads to a research project for which an instrumental set-up is needed
AMC clinical physiologist Peter Sterk’s idea to explore the use of e-nose technology for diagnosis of lung disease has really payed off. His brand-new ‘SpiroNose’ breath analyser will shortly become available for hospitals and general practices. Sterk is confident about the clinical validation studies that are now underway: “The SpiroNose will be a formidable addition […]
The lasting impact and application of HvA research: Etherport
In this video, HvA researcher Sepp Eckenhaussen explains how his practice-based research project led to the tool Etherport. What is special about this project is that the tool was transferred to and is managed by a collective of cultural organisations. They ensure that Etherport is available for use by other cultural organisations. The tool was […]
