A look back at 2017 - The largest artificial Sun in the world, seven new institutes and a new DLR strategy


In 2017, the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum fuer Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) – in close cooperation with the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) – committed to a new strategy that targets long-term future goals. "This new strategy, along with scientific expertise and highly effective research infrastructure, allows DLR to position itself in the future as a dependable partner for industry and an experienced policy consultant," says Pascale Ehrenfreund, Chair of the DLR Executive Board, as she looks ahead to the coming year. As such, DLR's focus areas on aeronautics, space, transport and energy and the cross-sectoral topics of security and digitalisation increasingly enable DLR to address current social and economic policy challenges and harness potential synergies more effectively. Moreover, DLR has grown in the past year: a total of seven new institutes were founded in Augsburg, Bremerhaven, Dresden, Hamburg, Jena and Oldenburg, where research has already started in each location.
