Finding and retaining talent
Innovation sprints & hackathons
Short, intensive, creative: a compact format (4-48 hours) in which students work with companies on specific challenges under the guidance of coaches and experts – ideal for quickly developing creative solutions and gaining new perspectives.
Student projects
Creative collaboration with in-depth analysis: A semester-long format (Oct.-Jan. or Apr.-July) in which student teams (5-15 people) work on real issues from the business world. Accompanied by professors, students devote themselves intensively to a topic. Ideal for experimental approaches.
Internships and work-study programs
Involving students in practice: The internship semester allows students to work full-time for at least 20 weeks. Working students can start at any time. This provides valuable impetus and early networking with potential specialists.
Final theses
Focused research with high relevance: students develop innovative solutions for entrepreneurial challenges in their final theses. They work on complex tasks under professorial supervision – ideal for strategic or confidential projects.
Research and development
Our research infrastructure with numerous laboratories enables us to implement innovation projects effectively and work closely together in all phases of research and development. Our cooperation offers include both services and contract research. Legal framework conditions such as the Research Allowances Act as well as public funding and foundations create incentives for joint projects.
