Center For Applied Research
Applied research and development are carried out in several institutes on campus. Research and development projects supported by state and federal ministries, and also by the European Union, are carried out in cooperation with industry - in particular with small- and medium-size enterprises. By this means the institutes make contributions to the innovative ability of German industry and provide topical relevance to students. Research is focused mainly in the following areas:
Institute for Applied Research (IAF)
- Process analysis, control, and optimization
- Clothing technology, quality management, technical textiles
- Renewable resources, polymer materials
- Interface analysis and surface technology
Institute for Applied Research in Automation (IFA)
- Production Automation and Sensor Systems (PASS) focusing mainly on image processing, robotics, telematics, signal processing, and driverless transportation systems
- CAD/CAM in Design and Simulation, innovation management, benchmarking and energy technology
ESB-Research Institute
- Innovation in business and enterprises
- Implications of emerging knowledge society
- Processes and consequences of globalization
- Cooperation with partner universities of International Partnership of Business Schools (IPBS)
