The Research Technology Department provides technical expertise and services across all IFW institutes. It supports researchers in developing and building unique research facilities and equipment when suitable solutions are not commercially available. Many experiments at IFW Dresden require custom-built equipment designed to achieve the highest precision in movement and measurement, often under extreme temperature and pressure conditions. The department is also responsible for the institute’s IT infrastructure.
