The Fraunhofer Society is one of the world's leading organisations for application-oriented research. 75 institutes develop groundbreaking technologies for our economy and society – more precisely: 32 000 people from technology, science, administration and IT. You know, who comes to Fraunhofer wants and can change something. For yourself, for us and the markets of today and tomorrow. With your focus on key technologies relevant to the future as well as on the exploitation of results in business and industry, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft plays a central role in the innovation process. As a guide and impulse provider for innovative developments and scientific excellence, it works with the design of our society and our future. Welcome to the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS As the largest institute of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, we have been researching for more than 30 years in a variety of topics such as artificial intelligence, microelectronics, sensor technology and data acquisition, as well as signal processing and transmission. Talents from different engineering and natural sciences will find numerous research fields under one roof. Some signposts reflecting our innovative power: Neuromorphic Computing, 5G/6G mobile radio technologies, Generative AI in voice and signal processing, and X-ray imaging in electromobility. And we do so much more! The "Audio and Media Technologies" division of the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS in Erlangen has also shaped the global standards and technologies used in the audio and film industry for over 30 years. Starting with the invention of mp3 and the development of Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) and the test plan of the Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI), systems and technologies from Erlangen can now be found in almost all devices of entertainment electronics. A new generation of first-class media technologies now sets new standards. With a view to the market requirements, the Fraunhofer IIS team develops technologies that enable unforgettable moments. .
