Team
The IZT is a lively, diverse, reflexive and thus learning organisation with a large inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge base that continues to maintain a balance between preservation and renewal in order to remain fit for the future. The staff work together at a high scientific level. They are co-creators and at the same time shareholders of the Institute. Together they address exciting topics of the future and in doing so open up great scope for shaping content and methods. Cooperation and collaboration are the basic modes of working.
