Technology Campus

An early interdisciplinary orientation of the departments at CUT, its affiliated institutes and Fraunhofer Institutes has led to the development of hybrid technologies based on fundamental textile, plastic and metal processes, as well as micro- and nanosystems integration with all process technologies an equipment concentrated in a single research location, the “Technology Campus”. Therefore, much technical instrumentation for the focused fundamental technologies is already available at the involved institutes.

The Smart Systems Campus (SSC) in Chemnitz, with its generous dimensions on a site measuring almost 4.5 hectares, brings together a number of renowned scientific and technical research centres, including the Fraunhofer Institute ENAS, the faculties of Electrical Engineering/Information Technology and Mechanical Engineering at the Chemnitz University of Technology and the Centre for Microtechnologies. The CUT Institute of Physics, the Fraunhofer IWU and the ZIL are also in close proximity to the SSC.
