Organization
Management and organisation
With the new scientific director Prof. Thomas Schroeder taking office in February 2018 and the institute´s Leibniz evaluation in December 2018, the IKZ Institute Concept 2019 was developed – and fully supported by the evaluation committee - to strengthen IKZ´s future mission & strategy on science & technology as well as service & transfer on crystalline materials. To put this strategy in the best possible way in place, IKZ rearranged its management & organization structure on 1st April, 2019.

Research Programs
The four IKZ research programs are provided by the four scientific departments. To promote interdisciplinarity in our research efforts from basic over applied up to pre-industrial developments, the research programs are organized in a 2 x 2 matrix structure. IKZ´s research and development activities thereby follow two innovation pathways, namely innovations in and by crystalline materials.
