Affiliated Institutes

Affiliated institutes are research facilities that are legally and organisationally independent. They are affiliated with a university and cooperate extremely closely with it. The close intermeshing of the university, institute and industrial companies produces advantages for all participants. Under the banner of the university, the affiliated institute has the opportunity to flexibly undertake research and development for external partners whose expertise also benefits the university. For students of the university, there are opportunities for challenging activities in the affiliated institute's specialist field.
