Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt

With about 80 research employees, the Center conducts both publicly subsidised and industry financed applied research projects and, by actively involving SMEs, suppliers and manufacturers in its ventures, sees itself as a driver of innovation for the region.

The ZAF builds on Ingolstadt's intellectual tradition of academic research, this city having enjoyed a reputation as a prominent centre of scholarship and research ever since the founding of the first Bavarian university there in 1472. True to the Humboldtian educational ideal of striving for a unity of scholarship and teaching, we teach young people how to research topics for themselves at the earliest possible opportunity. Those who graduate from the university with outstanding degrees receive the opportunity to prepare their doctoral thesis at the ZAF in conjunction with partner universities. While doing so, they are always involved in industrial projects as project engineers.

Since the institute's establishment, as well as developing its research expertise it has created diverse national and international networks of knowledge spanning both applied fundamental research and industry. The high quality of this research is reflected in particular through its admission, as the first Bavarian university of applied science, to the European University Association (EUA) and as the only German university to date to sit on the EUA/Council for Doctoral Education (EUA-CDE). Within this new framework, the aim is to tackle research projects increasingly in partnership with other European regions and with the involvement of small and medium enterprises businesses on a local scale.
