Operating Principles

Fraunhofer Institute for Medical Image Computing MEVIS

Fraunhofer MEVIS’s interdisciplinary focus incorporates medicine, science, and industry and is reflected in the institute’s operating principles and organizational structure.

Researchers are not bound to strict, hierarchically organized work groups; they function in a flexible work environment that consists of medically defined domains and technologically oriented focuses which together dynamically adapt to the demands of research and development.

This matrix of domains and focuses is the basis for the creation of project teams. According to the demands and affiliation of each project, Fraunhofer MEVIS researchers may belong to multiple domains, focuses, or project teams.
