About us

In Applied Research and Development, we collaborate with partners in industry and business to research and develop new technologies, methods and applications in computer sciences. In addition, we teach at the FHNW School of Engineering.

In doing so we can draw on experienced employees and various national expertise networks, as well as the basic applied research of other institutes. For larger applied research and development projects, we act as an intermediary for cantonal and federal funds, which cover our expenses.
