Research Centers

To develop an empathetic living environment, we combine insights from social science, engineering and technology. This multidisciplinary approach is essential to bridge the gap between what people want and need and what is spatially and technologically possible.

We love innovative projects we can learn from. They allow us to work together with companies. Use technologies that push the automotive domain further. And keep our focus on green and smart mobility. Our research method is always based on model formation and model validation using prototyping and testing.

Digital tools have become an indispensable part of our lives today. They influence the way we work, learn, travel and shop. And they are developing at lightning speed. But what if you can’t take part in the digital society or have trouble doing so because of a visual impairment?

How can we support international businesses and their ecosystem in the transitions towards sustainability?

Suddenly the streets are flooded. Shortly afterwards, agriculture suffers from drought. Climate change poses increasing challenges for civil engineering, spatial planning and water management.

Sustainability and the biobased economy are today's important topics. What can we create from wast products like plants or methane? And how can data science add to that?
