Beginning with the year 2002 the German Research Association (DFG) has set up in Dresden the Collaborative Research Center 609, entitled “Electromagnetic Flow Control in Metallurgy, Crystal Growth and Electrochemistry". There is already a long-term intensive cooperation between Riga and Dresden in this field, including joint industrial and scientific projects, exchange of young researchers, and the joint participation in European projects. Aim of this measure is to set up a framework for coordination of research activities and development scientific collaboration between IPUL and MHD department at Forschungszentrum Rossendorf (FZR).
