Successful Knowledge Transfer

Transfer of knowledge is as important to us as research itself. This is why we provide more than 30 continuing education courses each year. In these, skilled employees from academia, industry and public authorities learn about the latest developments and how these are to be implemented in practice.

Our head scientists give lectures at renowned universities all over Germany.

But also junior scientists join us at DFI: Our Laboratories provide optimal potential to collect research experience, from an internship up to post-doctoral work.

We regularly publish the results of our research in international professional journals and on high-ranking congresses and conferences.
