Projects

Fraunhofer ICT is an experienced and competent partner in EU-funded projects. We participated in more than 30 projects in Horizon 2020, and can draw on an international network of academic and industrial partners. As one of the largest and longest-established Fraunhofer institutes, we carry out applied research in the fields of polymer engineering and composite materials, chemical processes, energy systems, explosives technology and drive systems.

We apply our expertise in a range of research and development projects with external partners. Below you can find a selection of our current, pre-competitive publicly funded research projects.
