Application centers

In cooperation with universities of applied sciences, Fraunhofer institutes operate several application centers:

  • Application center for resource efficiency of Fraunhofer ISC-IWKS at Aschaffenburg University
  • Application Center for Wind Energy Field Measurements (AWF) of Fraunhofer IWES at Bremerhaven University
  • Application center for wireless sensors of Fraunhofer IIS at the Coburg University
  • Application center CT in the measurement technology of Fraunhofer IIS at TH Deggendorf
  • Application center Competence center for energy and information technology mobility interfaces (KEIM) of the Fraunhofer IAO at the University of Esslingen

The Fraunhofer innovation clusters represent a special form of organization . One or more Fraunhofer institutes, other research institutions such as universities or technical colleges and industrial partners are networked with one another.

Fraunhofer International

In addition to the institutes in Germany, there are other Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft centers around the world.

  • Fraunhofer Chalmers Center for Industrial Mathematics, Gothenburg - FCC
  • On 21 May 2019 were at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem , the two research centers for cyber security and health, the Fraunhofer Project Center for Cyber Security at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Fraunhofer Project Center for Drug Discovery and Delivery at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem , opened .

The branch in the USA, Fraunhofer USA, comprises the following seven centers:

  • Coatings and Laser Applications - CCL
  • Experimental Software Engineering - CESE
  • Laser Technology - CLT
  • Molecular Biotechnology - CMB
  • Manufacturing Innovation - CMI
  • Sustainable Energy Systems - CSE
