Research and Transfer

Topics

The institute focuses on five cross-cutting, strategic research areas aligned with the core objectives of DLR’s programs in Aeronautics, Space, Transport, Energy, and Security.

Innovation and Transfer

The five cross-cutting, strategic research areas of the institute are designed to accelerate the transfer of research results into industry, particularly in the mid-range technology readiness levels (TRL 3 to 6), enhanced by digitally integrated approaches.

Projects and Missions

Our dedicated colleagues work on various projects and missions with partners and facilities from all around the world.

Research Infrastructure

The research infrastructure of the Institute for Frontier Materials on Earth and in Space consists of a wide variety of large-scale systems for producing, analysing, coating, characterising and testing materials. These systems enable research to be carried out in areas such as aerospace, energy, transport, security and digitalisation.
