Research institution

The teaching and research activities of the University of the Federal Armed Forces Munich focus on health, water and resource protection for the entire field of urban water management, from (drinking) water to wastewater and sewage sludge. Interdisciplinary teams work on both basic and user-oriented issues.

The Sensor Technology Application Center (SappZ) at the OTH Regensburg is an interdisciplinary laboratory that pools the sensor technology expertise of the city of Regensburg and acts as a link between research and industry. The SappZ concentrates on pre-competitive research and development. The development of intelligent sensor technology focuses on areas such as photoacoustic gas sensors, ultrasonic sensors, process monitoring, smart farming, smart health and environmental sensors.

Fraunhofer IIS, headquartered in Erlangen, conducts cutting-edge international research into microelectronic and information technology system solutions and services. The research areas include audio and media technologies, communication systems, localization and networking, smart sensing and electronics, supply chain services as well as the development of adaptive systems and the X-ray technology development center EZRT.

The Fraunhofer EMFT conducts applied research into sensors and actuators for humans and the environment. The institute’s technology portfolio ranges from semiconductor processes and MEMS technologies to 3D integration and film electronics. These nano- and microtechnologies form the basis for the Fraunhofer EMFT’s other areas of expertise: sensor solutions, safe electronics and micropumps. It is precisely the interdisciplinary interplay of these competencies that produces pioneering solutions. As a result, the Fraunhofer EMFT is ideally positioned to contribute to overcoming the current challenges facing our society.
