Freiburg is the “capital” of the black forest and a lively university town
located in the trinational Biovalley area between Switzerland, France and
Germany. The Institute has a high percentage of foreign researchers as well
as a kindergarden for children of 6 month to 3 years of age. Our groups are
also part of the “excellence programs” of the university of Freiburg.
