Venturing Electronics into Unknown Grounds

Electronics is a huge driver for economic success of today's societies. cfaed, the German Cluster of Excellence located in Dresden (Germany), aims at pushing the boundaries of electronics into unknown grounds. This includes not only current electronics but also scientist's and engineer's projection of how the electronics landscape will look like in the future. We pursue an approach that connects all layers from new materials to new system design (vertical) as well as across our Research Routes (horizontal) and ensure coherence through adequate measures. cfaed is centered at one location which, combined with our unique approach, places it above the highly funded Competitive Landscape.
