Research

As it has done in the past, the BfS continues to initiate and support research projects dealing with various topics relating to electromagnetic fields. At present, these projects are primarily conducted within the framework of the research programme "Radiation Protection in the Process of Power Grid Expansion". The BfS has previously carried out a large-scale research programme on mobile communications, known as the "German Mobile Telecommunication Research Programme", and has plans for further projects on the subject. These pages are intended to provide you with information on completed, ongoing and future projects in the area of electromagnetic fields.

Research on mobile communications

From 2002 to 2008, the BfS carried out the extensive German Mobile Telecommunication Research Programme (DMF) in order to verify individual study results and to clarify open questions regarding the nationwide spread of mobile communications. The BfS continues to follow scientific studies and technical developments in the field of mobile communications and initiates further research projects as required.
