RUBIN
“Regional entrepreneur alliances for innovation" (RUBIN) is a program of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) that envisages the transfer of innovations in structurally weak regions across Germany. RUBIN will strengthen the strategic collaborations between companies and their cooperation with universities and research institutes. Key is the transfer of research and development results into market-relevant products and services. The alliances develop, within a well-defined subject, innovations with a high potential for applications. This is an essential building block for sustainable profile formation within the region.

Background information about LIDAR technology
LIDAR technology is an established measurement method for the exploration of the atmosphere (up to 100 km altitude).
By means of precise spectral measurements of Doppler-Rayleigh, Doppler-Mie, and Doppler resonance scattering temperatures, wind velocities, particle concentrations, and molecular abundances can be analyzed. In addition, different for the atmospheric understanding relevant parameters can be determined (e.g. aerosols). LIDAR diagnostic is a fundamental method for the observation and understanding of the atmosphere and the proceeding climate change.
Common LIDAR measurements require large technological efforts related to infrastructure and resources. LIDAR cubes enable locally and temporally flexible operations to analyze current atmospheric and climate-related scientific questions.
