Cooperation opportunities for companies
HAW Kiel has a long tradition of transferring ideas, technology and knowledge to the region. Fundamentals for this are very good and broad-based Application-Oriented Research and Development. Future specialists and managers are trained here in a practice-oriented manner. In this way, universities such as HAW Kiel not only make a significant contribution to the development of society through interaction with stakeholders from business and society, but are also an important economic factor in the region. In this context, HAW Kiel offers you a wide range of different cooperation opportunities.
Practice-oriented teaching is a matter of course for us, which is why our students are confronted with business issues at an early stage.
Bachelor's and Master's theses, management projects for Buisness students or the project startIng! project for first-semester students in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering offer a wide range of insights into business reality. They offer companies the opportunity to get to know future employees. These projects can often be the starting point for further cooperation with our university. An initial Bachelor's thesis often leads to further work and a collaboration can result in the idea for a joint project that has the potential to generate public funding.
The dual format Practice-based studies (PBS) - formerly known as Industry-Based Studies (IBS) for all Bachelor's and Master's degree courses in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, offers companies the opportunity to participate in the training of future employees.
We are happy to put you in touch with our professors. Your contact person is Dr. Andreas Borchardt.
HAW Kiel is well networked - and is happy to support you in your search for further contacts.
In addition to its involvement in various competence centers, HAW Kiel is also involved in Nordzentren e.V., Kieler Innovations- und Technologiezentrum GmbH (KITZ) and Wirtschaftsförderung und Technologietransfer Schleswig-Holstein GmbH (WTSH).
As a joint instrument of science and industry, strategic cooperation serves as a long-term partnership to drive technological progress, promote economic success and create social benefits. This includes joint research projects, the development of innovations and the pooling of expertise. The mutual exchange can facilitate access to new technologies and know-how and thus strengthen competitiveness.
Well informed about funding lines and programs and with many years of experience in the acquisition and handling of publicly funded research projects, both HAW Kiel and its Forschungs- und Entwicklungszentrum GmbH are reliable project partners. Regionally, nationally and internationally. In addition, HAW Kiel is represented and well networked in a large number of clusters and competence centers. Our cooperation partners also benefit from this.
You can find specific expertise and services on specific topics on the research focus pages.
In principle, HAW Kiel offers the possibility of cooperation via the university itself or via the Research and Development Center HAW Kiel GmbH. Both institutions work closely together. We recommend that industrial companies in particular contact our GmbH directly. Please feel free to contact us without obligation.
