FIT for Future

The FIT is a research institution of national and international importance in the field of basic research, which lays the foundation for the development of new materials systems and technologies with life-like functions.

Following the example of living nature, the developed "vital" materials systems are interactive, adaptive, energy-autonomous, self-repairing, self-improving or even learning. Through these extraordinary properties and functions, they make a decisive contribution to the sustainable development of technology and society.
