We are convinced that application-oriented research into digitalization for society's benefit is most successful when it is conducted on an interdisciplinary basis. Therefore, at Fraunhofer FOKUS, scientists from the fields of computer science, electrical engineering, engineering, mathematics, psychology and social sciences work together. Fraunhofer FOKUS is also part of the interdisciplinary Weizenbaum Institute, a joint project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
