Research centers 

Members of our faculty participate at the following research centers:

• FMF –  Freiburg Materials Research Center
  The Freiburg Materials Research Center is a central research institute of the University of Freiburg, which has been successfully doing interdisciplinary basic research as well as specific third-party research in the field of new materials and materials-related technologies since 1990.
• ZEE – Center for Renewable Energy
  The ZEE acts as a central scientific facility; it brings together scientific institutions within the university that engage in renewable energy problems in research and education, as well as forming cooperation agreements with institutions from outside the university in the areas of research, education, and advanced training.
