Due to increasing complexity and miniaturization of innovative products system integration is a vital factor of scientific research and technical development. Thereby both multi functionality and the implementation of different devices (multi device) consisting of different materials (multi materials), play an important role. Furthermore, the integration of nano materials as well as printed functionalities cause new requirements and concepts for reliability, design, security and testability.

The researchers of Fraunhofer ENAS meet this challenge. The main research areas of Fraunhofer ENAS are reflected in the 6 departments:
