Cross-cutting topics and Key research areas

The research projects conducted at Fraunhofer ISI cover a wide range of topics and affect many areas of society, the economy or politics. We organize these research topics into our departments.

Many of our topics have a cross-cutting character, which spans these organizational boundaries. We pool the activities and expertise in the departments for those cross-cutting topics that are currently particularly important to us and develop them further. As a rule, colleagues from all the departments work together on each of these cross-cutting topics, in order to ensure the interdisciplinary and systemic research approach that is typical for Fraunhofer ISI.  

We also have various key research areas at the institute, which bring together projects and publications from several departments.
