Collaboration in research and services
The FHNW provides you with practical support.
Our service
Applied research and development at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) is oriented towards answering questions that arise from practice. The focus is on the development and transfer of research results relevant to practical applications. We realise our projects in partnership with institutions from industry, business, culture and society.
With our range of services, we support companies and institutions in developing tailor-made answers to a wide array of questions in their practice and day-to-day work.
You can commission student projects. Students provide new knowledge and methodological competencies and develop a specific solution for your problem.

Knowledge and technology transfer is what links teaching, research and services, the aim being to put new and existing knowledge into practice in the form of concepts, methods, products and systems. The FHNW's knowledge and technology transfer departments provide businesses and institutions with fast, straightforward access to the expertise of our nine Schools.
The FHNW Research Support informs about programms and funding opportunities in the national and international context. We provide general guidance and also support the application and project implementation process. For SMEs of the Canton Aargau, we are the first point of contact for questions regarding EU research support.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us! Select one subject area even if more than one is involved. The knowledge and technology transfer departments are in touch with each other and will deal with your enquiry.
