The Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB develops and optimizes processes, technologies, and products for health, sustainable chemistry as well as the environment and climate protection.
Fraunhofer IGB is one of 76 institutes and research units of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, the world’s leading applied research organization.
Basic research is a prerequisite for the applications of tomorrow. Hence, Fraunhofer IGB maintains close contacts with neighboring universities, both through scientific cooperation and through professorial or other teaching commitments of Fraunhofer employees.
Fraunhofer IGB is particularly closely allied to the Institute of Interfacial Process Engineering and Plasma Technology IGVP at the University of Stuttgart through various teaching activities as well as joint operations. The cooperation facilitates a continuity of projects from basic research to application.
Furthermore, there are cooperations with the TU München (Prof. Dr. Volker Sieber).
