Innovation reports published by kompetenznetze.de

The innovation reports “Biotechnology/Genomics/Bionics”, “Nanotechnology”, “Optical technologies” and “Traffic/ Aerospace/ Information&Communication” feature German Competence Networks with exceptional outreach in fields of innovation with a high potential for growth. The portraits of the networks focus on research projects, international activities, and innovation highlights. Introductory articles provide an overview of innovations in the special fields. Each of the reports ends with a list of useful Internet addresses of e.g. funding programs, research initiatives, and information platforms. Additionally, the innovation reports “Biotechnology/Genomics/Bionics” and “Optical Technologies” include the article “Conducting research in Germany” by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) presenting Germany`s higher education and research institutes, which are centers of top-flight scientific research. They offer attractive conditions for higher education and research particularly to foreign scientists and students. Future innovation reports will strengthen the focus on the networks’ internationally relevant training offers.

The four innovation reports were published by the management office of kompetenznetze.de in cooperation with the DAAD and Invest in Germany, supporting the distribution of the reports at relevant international trade fairs.

The innovation reports can be obtained free of charge through the BMBF ordering service (please state the title as reference)
