The share of scientific publications involving international collaborations in Germany in the field of electronic, optical, and magnetic materials is forecasted to increase incrementally from 2024 to 2028. By the end of this period, the collaboration rate reaches an estimated 37.58%, with growth figures remaining relatively stable, showing a minute annual increase. When evaluated against 2023 data, which indicated a similar trajectory, this suggests a steady but gradual rise in such collaborations within Germany.

Key future trends to monitor include:

New geopolitical alignments that could impact international collaboration.
Advancements in technology that facilitate international partnerships.
Policy changes in Germany focusing on expanding international cooperation in research and development.
