Annual Reports

In 2024, Fraunhofer MEVIS increased its total earnings and industry earnings to record levels of nearly 17 million euros. The main contributors were publicly funded earnings, including internal Fraunhofer projects, with 8.4 million euros (50%), followed by industry earnings and other third-party funding with 4.2 million euros (31%). Our regular basic funding rose to 3.1 million euros (19%). Thanks to the successful results in the years 2018 to 2023, the institute's reserves remained stable.

The overall average number of persons employed by Fraun­hofer MEVIS has increased significantly by 10 full-time equivalents (FTE) in 2024 (+8,6%). This is due to a high project workload and for strategic considerations integrating our Hamburg group into Fraunhofer MEVIS. The vast majority of these positions are for scientific personnel (+8 FTE). The high level of FTE at the end of 2024 (133.5 FTE or +14 FTE compared to 2023) reflects the dynamic growth over the last 3 years.

The graph shows the number of scientific publications published annually as first or co-author between 2020 and 2024. Peer-reviewed publications in journals and at conferences are considered. In terms of the number of scientists, Fraunhofer MEVIS's publication output regularly ranks among the top 25% of all Fraunhofer Institutes.
