Engineering and Environment
The FHNW School of Engineering and Environment supports companies and institutions in their innovation projects. Our employees generate knowledge and solutions for practical applications.
Every year, around 250 new research and development projects are launched with business partners. More than 300 employees in 12 institutes generate knowledge and solutions that are made accessible for industries and markets. Our successful technology and IT research is also characterized by cooperation with national and international research partners.
