| BOOTH 12 Next to Entrance | Cluster of Excellence »Integrative Production Technology for High-Wage Countries« In the Cluster of Excellence »Integrative Production Technology for High-Wage Countries«, process engineers and materials scientists based in Aachen are developing new concepts and technologies offering a sustainable approach to industrial manufacturing. A total of 18 chairs and institutes of RWTH Aachen, together with the Fraunhofer Institutes for Laser Technology ILT and for Production Technology IPT, are working on this project, which in the first instance will run until the end of 2011. Funding of approx. 40 million euros has been granted to this Cluster of Excellence, an initiative that unites the largest number of research groups in Europe devoted to the objective of preserving manufacturing activities in high-wage countries. Within the Cluster of Excellence the following nine research groups are working in the field of laser technology and optics. Contact Person Dipl.-Phys.

| BOOTH 13 Next to Entrance | RWTH Aachen Campus In the upcoming years, RWTH Aachen University will create one of the largest campus areas and one of the nationally and internationally most reknown knowledge and science centres on an area of 2.5 square kilometers. The RWTH Aachen Campus will bundle knowledge, research, development and life in a new quality dimension. Sophisticated architecture and various facilities offer work and living quality on the highest level. Enterprises will have the possibility to settle on the Campus: for rent or in own buildings, in any size, from a 3-persons-office and limited projects up to longterm engagements with several hundred employees. As an outstanding feature, enterprises may enrol in the training and education programmes of RWTH Aachen University. Research and Development will be organised in thematic clusters, representing the most important future-relevant topics. Up to 12 thematic clusters are planed and one of the starting clusters will be the Photonics cluster. Contact Person Dipl.-Phys.
