The Research Technology Department has cross-sectional character. It supports the IFW Institutes with the realization of unique research facility and equipment in cases where such equipment is not commercially available. Usually, our scientific experiments require equipment that ensures the highest precision in movements and measurements in extreme temperature and pressure conditions. Additionally, the research technology department runs the IT infrastructure of IFW Dresden.
