Application Center of the IOM

In addition to basic research, the goal of our work is the successful transfer of our research results into science, the general public, politics and administration as well as into economic application and utilization.

For the economic application of the research results, the IOM's Application Center is available as a technology platform with various high-tech irradiation and coating systems. This enables an efficient and sustainable transfer of radiation-based high technologies developed at IOM to industry.

One goal is to transfer technological developments from pilot scale to economic use (scale up), especially in the optical and chemical industry, semiconductor technology, mechanical engineering and medical technology. In addition, new process technologies and product samples can be developed in the Application Center under industry-relevant conditions.
