Research promotion
We support innovative, transfer-oriented research in order to create concrete solutions for urgent social challenges.
With our Add-on Fellowships, we support young scientists from the fields of business and natural sciences who are working on interdisciplinary research issues. The "innovate! Academies" help researchers who are developing application-oriented solutions at the interfaces between engineering, natural sciences and medicine, and with our institutional funding, "innovate! Centers", we demonstrate at selected universities how research can be systematically transferred to application and society through appropriate structures
Applied research
innovate! Center
By establishing the interdisciplinary "innovate! Center" innovative Materials for Sustainable Technologies, twe aim to overcome systemic barriers in the transfer process in a particularly relevant research field.
