Impact Assessments – Measuring Our Societal and Economic Impact

At Hi-Acts, we are committed to generating lasting societal and economic impact through our activities. To ensure that our resources are used most effectively, and to continuously learn from past projects, we apply a methodologically robust framework for impact assessment.
Below, you can explore our previously conducted socio-economic impact assessments, which highlight the outcomes and long-term value of our initiatives.
- High-throughput Pharmaceutical Screening at Room Temperature
- Wafer-scale CMOS Technology for Room-temperature GeSn Photodetectors
- Standardised Station for High-energy Heavy Ion Radiation on Electronics
- Teststand für Operando-Batterieuntersuchungen

With the upgrade of HiPhaX at PETRA III, DESY now enables high-throughput crystallography at room temperature. This globally unique capability reflects physiological conditions more realistically and opens new avenues for drug discovery.
More Information about this AssessmentOur Societal & Economic Impact
With our Impact Assessments, Hi-Acts demonstrates how accelerator-based technologies create measurable benefits for society and the economy. We show how cutting-edge research is translated into real-world applications. From battery research and radiation testing of electronics to innovative approaches in medicine and diagnostics.
Our analyses highlight that accelerator technologies not only drive scientific excellence, but also increase competitiveness, enable sustainable solutions, and deliver direct benefits for health and the environment. Whether it is more efficient energy storage, more robust electronics, or more precise therapies – the impact is tangible and relevant.
The Impact Assessments are based on transparent methodologies and practice-oriented case studies. They provide decision-makers in industry, research, and policy with reliable data to deploy innovation faster, more sustainably, and more effectively.
