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

Famous quotes containing the words center, applied and/or research:

    The greatest part of each day, each year, each lifetime is made up of small, seemingly insignificant moments. Those moments may be cooking dinner...relaxing on the porch with your own thoughts after the kids are in bed, playing catch with a child before dinner, speaking out against a distasteful joke, driving to the recycling center with a week’s newspapers. But they are not insignificant, especially when these moments are models for kids.
    Barbara Coloroso (20th century)

    Those who dare to interpret God’s will must never claim Him as an asset for one nation or group rather than another. War springs from the love and loyalty which should be offered to God being applied to some God substitute, one of the most dangerous being nationalism.
    Robert Runcie (b. 1921)

    The great question that has never been answered and which I have not get been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a women want?”
    Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
