Based on an initiative of the German Federal Government the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HIF) is being established jointly by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf and the TU Bergakademie Freiberg. The new institute is to make a vital contribution towards implementing the national German strategy on raw materials. These visions and aims form the intellectual basis for the scientific work at the HIF:
- New technologies for utilization of mineral and metal containing resources from complex domestic and foreign deposits
- Contribution to global environmental protection by means of material and energy efficient extraction and use of raw materials
- Economic networks between Germany and resource countries based on sustainable technologies provided to German industry by the Helmholtz Institute (technology in exchange for access to raw materials)
- Training of new generation of highly qualified academic and technical staff for German industry and academia
- Concentration of all competences and capacities in one department available to all other departments
- Avoiding isolated applications
- Strict integration of the analysts during acquisition and design of projects
- Consistent integration of further development of laboratory methodology into scientific projects of the respective departments.
- High-speed PIXE of natural and synthetic materials
- Super-SIMS
- Automated mineralogy
- Reference materials for microanalytical methods
