The state of Lower Saxony has agreed to fund Ostfalia from the ERDF and state funds, for research infrastructure amounting to €4,566,600. Ostfalia invested €507,400 from its own funds. The money will be used for the construction of a new research building, expected to open by 2020, entitled "Open Mobility Lab - intelligent systems for mobility" in Wolfenbüttel, as well as large-scale research equipment. This includes a vehicle test stand for integrated, fully-active, mechanical vehicle systems, an EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) absorption chamber, a scanning electron microscope with FE cathode and EDX analysis, as well as a laser-sintering system.
