The Forschungslabore Mikroelektronik Deutschland (ForLab) network connects 25 universities (as of May 2026) with a joint public image for microelectronics research in Germany. The university network for semiconductor technology and microelectronics aims to increase the visibility of microelectronics research at universities, accelerate technology transfer into application, and promote the training of young talent beyond university boundaries.

These are our tasks:

• Tapping into new knowledge together
• Cooperative use of infrastructure
• Research partner for industry
• Training of young scientists
• Competence Atlas Germany
• Becoming visible as a network

Advantages for network partners

• Easier access to resources and infrastructure
• Increased visibility through outreach and competency atlas
• Better networking of minds and ideas
• Cooperative measures to recruit young talent
• Networking with national and European projects to promote young talent
