Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems IMWSWelcome address by Institute Director Prof. Dr. Erica Lilleodden
Dear Readers,
When looking at the most important results and developments in 2024 from the perspective of the Fraunhofer IMWS, the first thing that strikes me is the astonishing parallels between our institute and the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft as a whole. A focus on consolidation and strengthening our unique selling points after years of strong growth, an emphasis on entrepreneurial action, flexible management and efficient processes in our research work, an increased international reach and a clear commitment to our mission as an R&D partner to industry - all this unites the goals set by the new Fraunhofer Executive Board and the course I am pursuing for the Fraunhofer IMWS as Institute Director.
