Continuing education for
specialists and managers
The Fraunhofer Academy is the further education institution of the
Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. Together we stand for applied cutting-edge research:
wherever new technologies and processes are used, the Fraunhofer Academy
creates the conditions for a new culture of innovation in companies for an
economically successful future through continuing education.
Bringing knowledge to application
We see continuing education as the key to implementing innovations in business
and society. Our continuing education courses are divided into six subject
areas. All content is derived from highly topical Fraunhofer research results
with the aim of conveying them quickly and in a targeted manner for practical
application. From energy technology and IT solutions to production and
management topics, the Fraunhofer Academy promotes innovative thinking across
industry boundaries. To this end, we offer specialists and managers excellent
advanced training, part-time study courses, certificate courses and seminars
based on the research activities of the 74 Fraunhofer Institutes in cooperation
with selected and renowned partner universities and partner colleges.
Cybersecurity learning lab
The Fraunhofer Academy's Cybersecurity Learning Lab teaches you the latest
methods and findings in digital security. In high-quality equipped laboratories
with real working environments, experts and executives can experience IT
security first-hand in flexibly combinable modules: For example, in hacker attacks
on the control centre of a power plant or an assembly line in industrial
production. Or, for example, in the investigation of cyber espionage with the
tools of IT forensics. Through their own experience, the participants can
acquire valuable knowledge, try it out directly, make mistakes - and even slip
into the role of a hacker themselves to understand their perspective.
