Forschungsvereinigungen müssen für die Antragstellung im Rahmen der IGF autorisiert sein. Noch nicht autorisierte Forschungsvereinigungen können einen Antrag auf Autorisierung im Förderprogramm Industrielle Gemeinschaftsforschung (IGF) stellen, wenn die Kriterien gemäß der Anlage Förderrichtline erfüllt sind.
Die Industrielle Gemeinschaftsforschung (IGF) ist ein europaweit einzigartiges, themenoffenes und vorwettbewerbliches Förderprogramm des Bundesministeriums für Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWE), das kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen (KMU) einen einfachen Zugang zu praxisorientierter Forschung ermöglicht.
Eine Kurzdarstellung veranschaulicht den Prozess von der Idee bis zur Veröffentlichung des Forschungsergebnisses.

International Workshop „Stable Control and efficient design of industrial plasma processes with plasma diagnostics“
Plasma technologies for surface modification and layer deposition are industrially established and many products in semiconductor technology, the automotive industry, medical technology, etc. are no longer conceivable today without technological plasma processes.
Specific process control is essential to ensure process reliability when using plasma technology. Continuous further development of the relevant diagnostics is required to optimize and ultimately reduce the costs of production processes.
The workshop “Stable Control and efficient design of industrial plasma processes with plasma diagnostics” is dedicated to this topic. Renowned experts from research institutions will be presented basic insights as well as new innovative aspects for a stable process control. While Industrial partners will be demonstrated the implementation of well established tools by some impressive examples. Simple methods that are well suited for industrial use will also be presented. But also very specialized diagnostic procedures and new possibilities by using artificial intelligence will be addressed.
The Workshop is planned for:
Users of plasma technology
Developers in plasma technology and plant engineering
Physicists and technicians from basic research
Students from the field to present their master, diploma or PhD thesis and get in contact with potential employers
ALD for Industry 2026
International Conference ALD FOR INDUSTRY for fundamental science, industrialization and commercialization of Atomic layer deposition (ALD)
The 9th International Conference ALD FOR INDUSTRY will again bridge the gap between fundamental science, industrialization and commercialization of this technology. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a process for depositing a variety of thin film materials from the vapor phase of matter. The growth of this technology is not only based in microelectronics applications, but also in areas of industrial Li-Ion batteries, photovoltaics, optics, light, biomedicine and quantum technology.
This event is already established since 2017 and attracts annually more than 100 participants and numerous exhibitors to visit Dresden. The Conference with Tutorial provides the opportunity to learn more about fundamentals of ALD technology, to get informed about recent progress in the field and to get in contact with industrial and academic partners. Increase your visibility and present your company in our accompanying exhibition.
This time, the Conference will take place in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
