Use innovation potential - sharpen research profiles
The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) supports strategic research and innovation partnerships initiated and coordinated by universities of applied sciences with the open-topic funding measure “Strong universities of applied sciences" - impetus for the region” (FH impulse). Higher research universities for applied sciences who want to expand an existing research focus with high transfer and implementation potential and sustainably sharpen their research profile are funded. Nationwide, 10 universities will receive funding of around 10 million euros for a good eight years until 2025.
The nine other partnerships selected for funding by the BMBF:
Furtwangen University: CoHMed: Connected Health in Medical Mountains
Hochschule für Technik Stuttgart: i_city – Partnerschaft zur Stadtforschung
Ostwestfalen-Lippesmart University of Applied Sciences: FoodTechnologyOWL
BMBF Announcement
In June 2015, the BMBF announced on "FH-Impuls" that funded projects run for four years and can be extended for a further four years following a positive evaluation. Notice of the program.
