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. These focus areas serve as a bridge to system integration and technology transfer:

• Rapid materials and process development
• Sustainable materials and technology solutions
• Resilient materials for corrosive and extreme environments
• Virtualization, predictive simulations, and data management for digitally integrated materials and processes
• Materials and process discovery platforms on Earth and in space
