Lothar Frey, supply kept characterizing the research work of Fraunhofer IISB. Appropriately, director of Fraunhofer IISB. the institute started a close collaboration within the Campus “Future Energy © M. Heyde / Fraunhofer Systems” initiated by Siemens. Together with Fraunhofer IIS and the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, we prepared the new “Leistungszentrum Elektronik- systeme”, which was finally launched in January 2015. Moreover, our energy research project SEEDs, which aims for a sustainable energy infrastructure under the special boundary conditions of medium-sized industrial environments, has been suc- cessfully continued.
