As of January 1, 2021, Fraunhofer IME comprises the four locations Aachen, Münster, Giessen and Schmallenberg. At the turn of the year, the former Fraunhofer IME locations Frankufrt a.M., Hamburg and Göttingen became the the newly established Fraunhofer Institute for Translational Medicine and Pharmacology ITMP. Consequently, as of 2021, the budget and financial numbers are lower in comparison with previous years.
