About IGAFA
IGAFA is a scientific network of the Adlershof Technology Park. Founded in 1992, IGAFA is dedicated to cross-link German and international scientists from the universities, research institutes and companies in Adlershof. The non-university research institutes located in Adlershof joined forces with the aim of promoting inter-institutional scientific collaboration and expanding cooperation with universities and companies. The IGAFA was founded from this association in 1992.
The tasks of the IGAFA include the promotion of interdisciplinary cooperation, the dissemination of scientific content through publications and events, and the support of international guests in two meeting centers. In addition, IGAFA sees itself as an interface between research and the public interested in natural sciences.
