The topics — Homepage

All economic branches are structured into nine topics. Their layout orientats to the structure of the German economy. The topics include all steps of the supply chain and the respective research areas.

Biotechnology

The innovation sector of biotechnology covers a wide range of technology, from agronomy and nutritional science to bio and gene technology.

Transportation and Mobility

Mobility and transportation are attributes of a modern society and of economical prosperity. Land-bound and water-bound services establish a central precondition (e.g. logistics).

Production and Engineering

On the one hand the integration of products, production, processes and services and on the other hand the increasing convergence of various technologies give space to many innovations and sustainable production.

Energy and Environment

Energy and environment are in many respects closely affiliated with each other. Being technology and industrial clusters, both have been rising in importance and hold a high potential for innovation.

Micro-Nano-Opto

In recent years the micro, nano and optical technologies have created completely new products and branches. New concepts of systems enable a further great advance in the quality of functions and a continuous dropping of prices and scales.

Health and Medical Science

Health research includes the development of new and improved diagnostic systems and therapies as well as the search for new prevention approaches.

New Materials and Chemistry

The development of new materials for the industry and new substances in the chemical sector is the basis for innovations and sustainable growth

Aviation and Space

Requirements on protection of resources, passenger friendliness and competitiveness as well as emerging capacity limits on the ground and on the air call for new technological solutions in aerospace research.

Information and Communication

Today, information and communication technologies (ICT) influence many sectors. After having modified existing products, they also generated completely new products and services.
