    The ForLab Network

    The “Forschungslabore Mikroelektronik Deutschland (ForLab)” network links 23 universities (as of Oct/2025) through a joint external presentation of microelectronics research in Germany. The university network for semiconductor technology and microelectronics aims to increase the visibility of microelectronics research at universities, accelerate the transfer of technology into applications and promote the training of young scientists beyond university boundaries.

    These are our tasks:

    • Using infrastructure
    • Attracting young talent
    • Bundling competencies
    • Creating visibility
    • Building a network
    • Promoting cooperation

    Advantages for alliance partners

    • Easier access to resources and infrastructure
    • Increased visibility through outreach and the Competence Atlas
    • Better networking of minds and ideas
    • Cooperative measures to recruit young talent
    • Networking with national and European projects to promote young talent

    Network partners (as of 10/2025)
