EU Cooperations

Fraunhofer IWS

The Fraunhofer IWS gained comprehensive experience as coordinator in the management of several EU-projects. In the same way the Fraunhofer IWS is highly appreciated as partner in numerous EU-projects due to its deep-seated and more over lived quality principles as well as professional handling.

LIFT - Leadership in Fibre Lasers

The LIFT project will establish international leadership for Europe in the science, application and production technologies for material processing by fibre lasers through the development of innovative laser sources.

Project duration: 01.09.2009 - 31.08.2013

nanoMOF - Nanoporous Metal-Organic Frameworks for production

“nanoMOF” will focus beyond discovery and integrate nanostructured MOFs into products with industrial impact within a strong cooperation of established MOF research institutions and industrial end users.

Project duration: 01.06.2009 - 31.05.2013

N2P - Nano To Production

Outstanding progress has been made in recent years in developing novel structures and applications for direct fabrication of 3D nanosurfaces. However, exploitation is limited by lack of suitable manufacturing technologies.

In this project we will develop innovative in-line high throughput technologies based on atmospheric pressure surface and plasma technologies. The two identified approaches to direct 3D nanostructuring are etching for manufacturing of nanostructures tailored for specific applications, and coating.

Project duration: 01.06.2008 - 30.11.2012

ORBITAL Project

Design, development and evaluation of an orbital laser welding head

Project duration: 01.01.2011 - 31.12.2012
