Forlab

The "Forschungslabore Mikroelektronik Deutschland (ForLab)" open up new fields of research for the microelectronics of the future and strengthen Germany as a microelectronics location.

terahertz.NRW

terahertz.NRW brings together experts in terahertz research – from North Rhine-Westphalia and around the world. The network aims to develop new mobile applications for communication, localization, material characterization, medical technology, and environmental monitoring.

 

6GEM

The value of future 6G systems for socially and industrially highly relevant use cases is intended to be demonstrated. To this end, seven test fields will be integrated and equipped with 6G systems.

SFB 196 – MARIE

In MARIE, the focus is on precisely and dynamically characterizing and locating moving materials in our daily environment.

6GEMcubator

The "6GEMcubator" will establish a novel entity for North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) and beyond, addressing the urgent need for strategic technology transfer from research into innovative entrepreneurship and into society.

SFB 1316

This Collaborative Research Center investigates how the non-equilibrium nature of a plasma transfers upon contact with liquids and solids.
