A Fraunhofer Center for Sensor Intelligence is to be established at Saarland University in Saarbrücken. Saarland's Minister President Tobias Hans and the President of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Prof. Reimund Neugebauer signed an agreement to this effect. A new building is planned, which will cost 35 million euros and, after a five-year construction period, will be operated as a cooperative project between the Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering IBMT and the Fraunhofer Institute for Nondestructive Testing IZFP.
