Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST

The German government wants to sustainably strengthen battery research in Germany along the entire value chain, to accelerate the transfer into industrial applications and to support the development of battery-cell production in Germany.

Following the lockdown imposed as a result of the corona pandemic, a degree of normality is now slowly returning to everyday life at the Fraunhofer IST. One accompanying measure was the redesign of our entrance foyer. This is now the setting for a resplendent overview of our expertise which demonstrates how strongly networked and active the Fraunhofer IST is, at its various locations, in providing surfaces and films for future-oriented product and production systems in a wide range of applications.

The Fraunhofer IST is contributing towards combating the corona pandemic by means of numerous projects, some of which are funded via the central action program of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, “Fraunhofer vs. Corona”.
