Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research Atmospheric Environmental Research (IMK-IFU)
The research and development programs of the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe are of public interest and serve peaceful purposes exclusively. They extend over areas of industrial precommercialization phase research, product and process development, provident research, and fundamental scientific research. In pursuing these research activities, the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe cooperates with partners in science and industry. Furthermore, it operates large-scale facilities also for external users.
