Moreover, the TUB has a long-term cooperation with non-university research institutes, for example the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Architecture and Software Technology FhG FIRST, Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems FhG FOKUS, Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design Technology, German Aerospace Center, and the European Institute of Technology.
