Following a special meeting (March 9/10), the shareholders of FAIR GmbH today decided on the progress of the FAIR project. Due to the excellent evaluation in the scientific review of the FAIR project, the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Hesse are willing to finance the first construction stage 'First Science' with a supplementary sum of approximately 518 million euros. This means that the foreseen total budget available for the scenario will be approximately 3.3 billion euros.

During this year’s assembly of the FAIR-GSI Exotic Nuclei Community (GENCO) in the framework of the NUSTAR annual meeting, the presentation of the Young Scientist Award as well as the admission of three new members took place. The FAIR-GENCO Young Scientist Award went to Dr. Daria Kostyleva of GSI/FAIR. On the occasion of the award presentation a special colloquium with the title “A1900, 20 Years of RIB Production” was held by Professor David J. Morrissey, who is a prominent leader in the area…

Recently, representatives of GSI/FAIR participated in the “FAIR Days Czech Republic” hosted by the Nuclear Physics Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The FAIR Days focused on meeting with all stakeholders in the aspirant partner Czech Republic, bringing together scientists, technical experts, industry partners and the funding agency. The aim was also to present the progress of the civil construction and the achievements of the FAIR's precursor program FAIR Phase 0, as well as to inform…

The Masterclass is back on campus! In February, twenty interested students had again the opportunity to analyze data from the ALICE experiment at the CERN research center in a Masterclass, this time on site at GSI/FAIR. The event was organized by scientists of GSI/FAIR’s ALICE research department.

On 9th and 10th February 2023, 75 delegates from 27 European institutes met at GSI to participate in the Annual Meeting of the EU-project EURIZON. Another 40 persons joined via video. After a fundamental transformation process triggered by the war of aggression of Russia on Ukraine end of February 2022, EURIZON emerged from the former CREMLINplus project.



The Science Year 2023 is entitled "Our Universe".
The Science Year 2023 has been launched. This year, the nationwide campaign is entitled "Our Universe". GSI and FAIR participate with numerous events and provide the public with exciting insights into the research facilities and scientific results. Interested persons can learn in many ways how our universe is explored in the laboratory on Earth.



Professor Hans Gutbrod
On November 1, the 80th birthday of Professor Dr. Dr. h.c. Hans Gutbrod was celebrated with a colloquium highlighting the scientific milestones of his career. Four renowned scientist-colleagues reported in lectures on Hans Gutbrod’s work and achievements in the field of relativistic heavy-ion physics.



Studies on tissue cells help to characterize the mechanisms of artificial hibernation in more detail.
Synthetic hibernation of astronauts could become a promising key technology for the future of spaceflight and for the benefit of mankind. This is especially the case for long-term missions, for example to Mars. In an exciting science video on the topic, the European Space Agency ESA features the essential expertise of GSI/FAIR in this field and presents it prominently.



Exchange between science and the arts.
Also this year GSI/FAIR participates in the successful format "Artist-in-Science-Residence". After the productive visit of the Italian artist Luca Spano in summer 2022, interested artists now have the opportunity to apply.
