Research Philosophy
As members of a University of Applied Sciences (HAW) we conduct applied research. We focus on topics which are of interest for us as well as for society at large and that have a clear potential for application in business. An international perspective and a solid empirical foundation are important to us. We are convinced of the power of collaboration and carry out our projects in cooperation with other universities, research institutes, companies, organizations and others. Overcoming the boundaries between disciplines for us is the basis of new findings. We welcome competition in research and participate in research programs of the federal and state governments. The link between research and teaching is important to us, so we integrate bachelor and master candidates into our research projects. In cooperation with several universities we also offer our scientific staff the possibility to graduate their PhD.
