Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI
Our research
Fraunhofer ISI conducts research as an independent thought leader for society, politics and industry.
What we offer
We study the conditions under which innovations emerge and their effects—at the scientific, economic, ecological, social, organizational, legal and political level. We assess the potential and limitations of technical, organizational and institutional innovations and help decision-makers from industry, science and politics make strategic decisions. At the Joint Innovation Hub we make the world a better place by working with our clients to implement innovative developments.
Our expertise
Our employees combine their technical, economic and social science knowledge in nine departments with more than 30 business units and research groups. This synergy of different skills and research areas forms the basis of our long-standing expertise in systems and innovation research.
Our methods
We work with a broad spectrum of methods from advanced scientific theories, models and social science measurement instruments, and continuously develop these using empirical findings from our research projects.
