Five teams nominated for AMA Innovation Award 2017
The AMA Association for Sensors and Measurement has nominated five applications for the AMA Innovation Award 2017. The special 'Young Company' award goes to Jens Karsten Lange's team from SLT Sensor- und Lasertechnik in Wildau.
This year, a total of 41 research and development teams from Germany and abroad applied for the €10,000 prize, which the AMA Association is awarding for the 17th time. "As jury members from research and industry, we are pleasantly surprised every year by the outstanding quality of the applications, from which we nominate five teams for the AMA Innovation Award 2017," says jury chairman Andreas Schütze from Saarland University. "We are delighted that we can already honor one of the five nominees as a 'Young Company'. Jens Karsten Lange and his team colleagues from SLT GmbH and PTB are invited to present their detectors for absolute power measurement in the terahertz spectral range free of charge at Sensor+Test 2017 from May 30 to June 1, 2017."
