Continuation of the contents of the former Institute of System Dynamics and Control

As part of a realignment of the research structure within DLR, the Institute of System Dynamics and Control was reorganised on 1 January 2025. The aim of this measure is to strengthen cross-institute collaboration, promote synergies and reduce thematic overlaps. Since then, the Institute's specialist focus areas have been continued in close cooperation with thematically neighbouring DLR institutes.

You can find further information on the new distributed departments on the following pages:
