The Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology is a driving force for innovation in the field of production technology research and development. As a leading institute for resource-efficient production, our focus is on the development of efficient technologies and intelligent production systems for the manufacturing of car body and powertrain components as well as the optimization of the associated forming, machining and joining manufacturing processes.
Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology specialises in scalable processes, from laboratory research to pilot plant implementation. Our expertise spans "Chemical Processes," covering raw material processing, reaction engineering, and product refinement. In "Polymer Technology," we focus on technical plastics, from synthesis to recycling. Our "Energy Systems" research covers efficient electrical and thermal energy storage, while "Drive Systems" focuses on electric and combustion drive solutions. Fraunhofer ICT is also the only German institute covering the full development chain in "Explosives Technology," from raw materials to prototypes.
VSB - Technical University of Ostrava has been connecting technical, economic, natural sciences and artistic disciplines in modern study programmes for more than 170 years responding to the real problems of the present. We carry out basic and applied research at the highest level. Thanks to tradition and cooperation with industry as well as many domestic and foreign universities in a wide range of sectors, we provide innovative solutions in a number of fields.
