We conduct research on behalf of the state and society. That is why we are looking for answers to the big questions of our time. For example, what resources will we use to generate our energy in the future? How can we make mobility climate-friendly? What therapies will help with previously incurable diseases? Our goal: To secure the basis of human life in the long term and develop technologies for a competitive economy.
