The Trumpf Laser Technology Division is contributing 160,000 euros per year over five years to the two endowed professorships in the field of photonics. The other sponsors are the technology company Zeiss, the cities of Aalen and Oberkochen and the Ostalbkreis district. The two endowed professorships will focus on the topics of "Optical microsystems for sensors and quantum technology" and laser material processing. "Every year, the Trumpf Group invests a three-digit million sum in research and development within the company," said Richard Bannmüller, Chairman and CEO of Trumpf Laser und Systemtechnik GmbH. The exchange with universities in the field of photonics is particularly important. Photonics is one of the key technologies of the near future.
Professor Harald Riegel, Rector of Aalen University, said: "We are delighted about the future support from Trumpf as one of the leading high-tech companies in the field of photonics, which is one of our central research focuses in Aalen. We are also pleased that other regional partners of the university, such as Zeiss and the municipalities of Aalen and Oberkochen, are participating in the endowed professorships. Such collaborations strengthen the innovative power of the region immensely."
