Research involves the practice and development of science and is closely intertwined with university teaching. One condition and fosters the other. Consequently, our mission statement clearly identifies research and teaching as the two cornerstones of a university, which influence and enrich one another. Through the close integration of teaching, the educational profile and applied research, Dresden University of Applied Sciences pursues the aim of continuously developing teaching and study programmes with a strong practical focus, whilst incorporating new findings from research and development.
Today’s research and development forms the basis for tomorrow’s methodological insights, pedagogical concepts and achievements. Research funding makes an essential contribution to this. Without external funding from European Union, federal and state funding schemes, as well as commissions from industry and the business sector, many research projects at our University of Applied Sciences would not be feasible. The Research Funding and Technology Transfer Unit offers professors and teaching staff a comprehensive range of services and advice on all aspects of research and technology transfer.
Dresden University of Applied Sciences aligns its research profile with the societal challenges of the future and places particular emphasis on social and technological change.
