The ASCENT+ access programme launches a new phase to become the powerhouse of researchers and innovators in nanoelectronics in Europe

From June 23 to 25, we would have presented our sensor technology innovations for the first time at the "Sensor + Test" in Nuremberg – the leading forum for sensors, measuring and testing technologies worldwide. Despite the cancellation of the "Sensor + Test" for the year 2020, the new developments of the FMD remain relevant. We would therefore like to invite you to get an overview of our planned topics, exhibits and systems on the following websites.

Dr. Michael Galetzka assumes provisional leadership of the Research Fab Microelectronics Germany (FMD) starting 1 May 2020. Jörg Amelung, who has been in charge of the nationally coordinated FMD since its establishment in April 2017, moves to the Fraunhofer IPMS in Dresden as a division director.

Prof. Albert Heuberger, executive director of Fraunhofer IIS, became the new spokesman of the board of directors of the Fraunhofer Group for Microelectronics and chairman of the steering committee of the Research Fab Microelectronics Germany (FMD) on January 1, 2020. In this interview, he talks about upcoming challenges and the importance of collaborating with European partners.
