Membership of ILL opens Business and Research Pathways for Slovenia


Slovenia has joined the world’s flagship neutron science facility, the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), as one of the 11 scientific member countries funding the ILL, in addition to the three governing states of France, Germany, and the UK.


As a member state, Slovenian scientists and businesses will now have direct access to the most powerful neutron source in use worldwide, with ILL home to some 40 state-of-the-art instruments that use neutrons to probe and explore matter, aiding the development of drugs, more efficient batteries, our understanding of nuclear physics, and much more.


The agreement comes at a crucial time for science and international collaboration – researchers around the world are focussing considerable effort to study coronavirus, while research facilities are opening up slowly after national lockdowns. Indeed the ILL reactor is currently operating and the first Covid-19 related research is being performed.


As such, ILL and NIC are encouraging academic researchers and industry throughout Slovenia to submit proposals this September to start using the facility from as early as January 2021.


The National Institute of Chemistry (NIC), a research facility based in Ljubljana, will act as the ILL’s official partner in Slovenia initially until 2023 and will coordinate the country’s scientific community in its use of the resources at ILL. Funding for the cooperation will be provided by the Slovenian Research Agency as part of the NIC research infrastructure.


Professor Mark Johnson, Scientific Director, ILL, said: “International scientific cooperation is more important than ever. It is a great pleasure to welcome Slovenia as one of our Scientific Members; the scientific excellence of our institution will be enhanced by the participation of Slovenia’s world-class researchers and academic organisations, who we welcome to submit proposals from this September.”


Professor Gregor Anderluh, Director of the NIC, added: “We are very excited to facilitate what will be a stimulating partnership between Slovenia and the ILL. The world-class instruments and expertise at the ILL offers great potential to enhance the innovation and discovery being driven by Slovenian researchers. It may also reveal new possibilities for the community to address both local and global challenges

through novel collaborations and cutting-edge science, and we encourage researchers to propose their experiments.”

Christopher Zimmerman’s Research on Thirst Awarded 2020 Eppendorf & Science Prize


this new class of body-to-brain signals predicts changes in hydration before they occur and, as a result, adjusts our level of thirst preemptively. Zimmerman’s research has revealed fundamental principles of ingestive behaviour of foods and liquids, and provided neural mechanisms to explain aspects of everyday human experience.


Christopher Zimmerman, 2020 Eppendorf & Science Prize winner.


The American scientist Christopher Zimmerman, PhD, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute in Princeton, New Jersey, USA has won the 2020 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology for his work on the neural circuits that govern thirst and drinking behaviour. Zimmerman discovered that sensory signals originating throughout the body come together within individual neurons in the brain to produce the sense of thirst. He demonstrated that


“Christopher Zimmerman described in an engagingly written essay the neurobiology that underlies a phenomenon everyone has experienced multiple times,” explained Dr Peter Stern, Senior Editor at Science and Chairman of the Prize Jury. “The work helps us understand, for example, how we can quickly feel thirst, how the sensation changes during meals, and why cold drinks have a thirst-quenching power.”


“I’m excited and honoured to receive the Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology,” said Zimmerman. “The prize will bring incredible exposure and recognition for my research at this crucial stage in my career.”


“Eppendorf wants to reward and highlight the work of young, early-career scientists who are doing exceptional


research in neurobiology,” stated Eva van Pelt, Co-CEO of Eppendorf AG. “Our past winners have gone on to run incredibly successful labs of their own and have become the opinion-leaders in their field.”


The annual Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology honours early-career scientists, like Christopher Zimmerman, for their ground-breaking research. Zimmerman is the 19th recipient of this international prize which is awarded jointly by Eppendorf and the journal Science.


Researchers who are 35 years of age or younger and have made outstanding contributions to neurobiological research based on methods of molecular and cell biology are invited to apply. The winner is awarded US$ 25,000 and has his or her essay published in Science. The next deadline for applications is 15th June 2021.

Call for Entries: Eppendorf Young European Investigators Award 2021


From 1st October 2020 to 15th January 2021, young researchers not older than 35 years, with an advanced degree and who are working in Europe, can apply for the Eppendorf Award for Young European Investigators. This highly prestigious €20,000 prize acknowledges outstanding contributions to biomedical research in Europe based on methods of molecular biology, including novel analytical concepts.


The winner will be selected by an independent, expert committee, chaired by Reinhard Jahn (Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Göttingen, Germany).


The Award winner 2021 will receive:


Prize money of €20,000. Prize ceremony at the EMBL Advanced Training Centre in Heidelberg, Germany, on 24 June 2021, in conjunction with the ‘Young European Investigators Conference 2021’. Visit to Eppendorf AG in Hamburg, Germany. Coverage of his/her work by Nature in print and online (including a podcast).


Only online applications are accepted. The official online registration portal will accept applications as of 1st October 2020 at ilmt.co/PL/Ezgy


The Eppendorf award for Young European Investigators is presented in partnership with Nature.
