The Mobility2Grid Research Campus hosted a Canadian delegation on March 5th, 2019, to discuss questions about energy storage technologies in Berlin.

The MATH+ excellence cluster proposal of the Berlin mathematics community has been approved for funding under the German Excellence Strategy. The MODAL Research Campus provides a platform for all the cooperation projects between science and business under MATH+. In this way, MATH+ will benefit from the broad experience and cooperation culture of the research campus.

The "Internet of Production" (IoP) excellence cluster was launched at RWTH Aachen in January 2019. The Digital Photonic Production (DPP) Research Campus is involved in this activity. The aim of cooperation is to transfer the Internet concept and its digital information opportunities to tomorrow's world of production, thus creating a kind of Google for production.

Anja Karliczek, Federal Minister of Education and Research, visited the Mobility2Grid Research Campus on the EUREF Campus in Berlin-Schöneberg on 6 December 2018. Accompanied by the Governing Mayor of Berlin, Michael Müller, she gained an insight into the close cooperation between science and industry for the transformation of the energy and transport systems.

In order to promote innovation, smart algorithms are used to analyse complex data on high-performance computers. The third workshop in Tokyo from 26 September to 1 October 2018, to which the Japanese hosts had invited researchers from the MODAL Research Campus and the Zuse Institute Berlin, addressed the challenges of high-performance optimization and real world data analysis.

The forward-looking research campus cooperation model was introduced in 2013. Meanwhile nine such research campuses have been established throughout Germany which are funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Five years after the launch of this funding initiative, approximatety 150 guests met in Berlin on 20 September 2018 at the "Innovation Hub: Research Campus" conference to review progress and discuss challenges and visions.
