There are numerous influences that Heinz Nixdorf, the founder of our institute. must be considered from areas such as nat- ural sciences, technology, economics, ecolo- gy and the social environment. We are adopting an interdisciplinary approach because we see that this offers the best possibility to find solutions for complex problems. Balance between basic research and applied research We want to be a leading research institute. To succeed in this aim, we have to be able to give decisive impetus in practice but also be able to recognise problems of tomorrow early on and find solutions. We place the same value on basic research, which opens new horizons and offers new opportunities, and applied research, which refers to what is currenty happening in practise.
