Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence

The Fraunhofer Clusters of Excellence promote the cooperative development and processing of system-relevant topics through an inter-institute research structure. In organizational terms, these research clusters correspond to a "virtual institute" spread over multiple locations. The aim of the research clusters is not just to temporarily implement single projects but rather to follow a roadmap for the long-term development of a complex technological trend.

The Fraunhofer ICT is participating in the following clusters:

Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Circular Plastics Economy CCPE (fraunhofer.de)
Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Programmable Materials CPM (fraunhofer.de)
