»CRYO-BREHM«

As one of the most modern bioarchives worldwide, the "CRYO-BREHM" preserves comprehensive biological information in living form through the collection of vital cell cultures of wild and farm animals and complements the classical natural history archives with additional, state-of-the-art scientific uses. As a cross-generational project, it is to be passed on to our children and grandchildren and continued by them.

Fraunhofer IMTE coordinates the »CRYO-BREHM« project at the associated Research and Development Center for Marine and Cellular Biotechnology EMB.

ZIM-Network »BEA - Bionik für Energie und Umwelt«

The ZIM Network »BEA« (Bionics for Energy and Environment) plans to use the extensive pool of ideas in bionics for innovations in the fields of energy and the environment. The aim of the network is to link medium-sized technology providers and research into a strategic corporate alliance and joint technology development. The participating network partners benefit on the one hand from an increase in know-how, mutual networking and identification as well as the use of synergies, and on the other hand from the development of new customer groups and markets. 

Fraunhofer IMTE is a founding member of the ZIM-Network »BEA«.

Fraunhofer Network For Science, Art and Design

How can science be inspired by art - and vice versa? What parallels are there in the work of researchers and creatives? How can they benefit from mutual dialog? These are the questions being explored by the new »Science, Art and Design« network founded at Fraunhofer. Through the interdisciplinary discourse between applied research and art, societal challenges are also to be identified and addressed using artistic methods.
