High-Performance Technology & Future Skills

We offer in-depth training in cutting-edge technological fields to prepare companies and professionals for the demands of Industry 4.0 and beyond.
 

One of Our Training Formats: Battery Workshop – Understanding and Experiencing Modern Batteries

The workshop »Understanding and Experiencing Modern Batteries« at Fraunhofer IKTS in Arnstadt provides a hands-on introduction to current battery technologies—from lithium-ion to solid-state batteries. 
Participants learn about cell chemistries, materials, safety aspects, and testing procedures. Interactive stations and live demonstrations offer an immediate, engaging learning experience.

The format is ideal for technology enthusiasts of all experience levels and can be booked as an open event or customized as an in-house training.

Knowledge Transfer from Science to Industry

Through close collaboration between research and industry, we ensure that the latest scientific insights are quickly and effectively translated into industrial applications.

We see ourselves as a hub for technology and qualification. Together with companies and research institutions, we develop innovative approaches for production research in the field of energy storage and other high-tech domains.

A Format from Our Digital Portfolio: Digital Learning with Moodle – Flexible, Scalable, and Interactive

Fraunhofer IKTS uses the Moodle learning management system to provide flexible and needs-oriented e-learning offerings. Moodle allows both standardized training formats and individually tailored learning paths for specific projects or target groups.

Participants benefit from interactive content, multimedia-based expertise, and seamless integration into existing workflows. The result is a sustainable digital learning culture that supports both self-directed learning and collaborative exchange.

In addition, we rely on blended-learning formats that combine digital learning units with on-site training. This mix enables participants to acquire theoretical knowledge online and then deepen it in focused workshops or practical phases. For companies, this approach offers excellent planning reliability, reduces downtime, and creates space for intensive, needs-based interaction.

All our offerings can be tailored to your specific requirements. Together with you, we develop customized formats that are practice-oriented, targeted, and future-focused.
