As part of the excellence strategy of the federal and state governments, TU Braunschweig was successful with two clusters of excellence in aviation and metrology:
The Cluster of Excellence SE²A is an interdisciplinary research project with the goal of exploring technologies for the sustainable and environmentally compatible development of air traffic.
DFG funds new Collaborative Research Center at TU Braunschweig: TRR 364 SynTrac
The "SynTrac" project uses the unique potential of high integration to significantly increase the efficiency of the overall aircraft system over the next twelve years.
Realising the vision of these new means of transport requires technologies that go far beyond the current state of the art and knowledge in aeroacoustics, aerodynamics and flight dynamics.

The Entrepreneurship Hub supports students, alumni and research assistants of Ostfalia University, TU Braunschweig and HBK Braunschweig who want to start their own business. The goal is to provide people with a business start-up as a rewarding and fulfilling career option and to create a lively start-up culture in the region.
Active principles of nanoscale matrix additives for lightweight fibre composite construction
In the context of lightweight construction, fibre-reinforced polymers such as CFK and GFK offer an extremely attractive alternative to light metals, especially due to their macroscopic mechanical properties. For this reason, there is a great effort to further improve the mechanical properties of corresponding fibre composites. This is possible with the help of nanotechnology.
The Research Centers represent a unique concentration and cooperation of individual, subject-related institutes and external research partners. Here you can find an overview of the research centres with the participation of the institutes of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
One field of research at Technische Universität Braunschweig is the production technology of traction batteries. The goal of the laboratory is the scientific investigation of the entire production chain from the production of the electrodes, the cell, the module to the system integration.
This production-technical mapping of the process chain with the corresponding production facilities in a spatial concept is unique in the German university landscape.
The NFL is the scientific association of the aerospace engineering institutes of TU Braunschweig, DLR and Leibniz Universität Hannover with the following goals
Will it be possible to produce drugs more cheaply in the future? Will there be drugs that are tailored to the individual patient, tailored to his or her needs, particularly effective and well tolerated – and still affordable? Researchers at Braunschweig Technical University want to make this possible on the basis of new technologies. In the new research building for pharmaceutical process engineering, which was opened in 2018, experts from the fields of pharmacy, process engineering and microtechnology will work together on a long-term basis in this model, which is unique in Germany.
The NFF concentrates on promising topics in vehicle technology research, which are worked on in interdisciplinary research teams:
Research at the limits of the measurable: In the Laboratory of Emerging Nanometrology (LENA), research groups will work together on important questions of measurement in the nanoworld using state-of-the-art technical infrastructure and expertise from electrical engineering, physics, mechanical engineering and chemistry. Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) is involved in LENA as a strategic partner.
The LeichtbauCampus is regarded in Germany as one of the leading addresses for the research and development of hybrid components of the future. In a novel cooperation model, it enables research and development of new and innovative lightweight construction concepts for future vehicle generations.
With the Metrology Initiative Braunschweig, TU Braunschweig and Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt are further expanding their long-standing cooperation in the field of metrology. The spectrum ranges from joint research projects and centres to jointly operated courses of study (Master's programme Metrology and Analytics) and graduate schools as well as the appointment of management staff with joint links to both institutions.
