Activity Reports

The activity report and the institute brochure offer a compact, well-grounded overview of Fraunhofer IWS. Published once a year, the activity report highlights current developments, selected topics, and key figures. In turn, the institute's brochure complements this annual snapshot by providing the institute’s profile, core competencies, research fields, and topics of lasting relevance – available in both digital and print formats.
