8 Application-oriented and interdisciplinary Our overriding goal is the translation of scientific and engi- neering research results into similarly economically efficient and sustainable processes and products. Our strength lies in offering complete solutions from laboratory scale to pilot plant. More than ever, the success of new products and processes is dependent on interdisciplinary and constructive coopera- tion between science and engineering. Some 380 experts in the fields of chemistry, physics, biology and engineering work effectively together at Fraunhofer IGB and IGVP, our partner institute at the University of Stuttgart. Customers benefit from the synergies and multidisciplinary potential at our institute, which facilitate novel approaches and innovative solutions in areas such as medical engineering, nanotechnology, industrial biotechnology and environmental technology.
