Knowledge and Technology Transfer

Together with companies and institutions, we drive innovation. Our students and employees generate knowledge and solutions for practical applications.

Knowledge transfer between education and practice
Research and development cooperations create a two-way exchange of knowledge between our school and the private sector. By partnering with us, our stakeholders enrich their innovation projects with the latest results from research, using cutting-edge laboratory infrastructure. Our students gain valuable insights into practice and thus develop into sought-after specialists in their fields of study.
