Forschung Burgenland

We are the team of the University of Applied Sciences Burgenland and Forschung Burgenland, the university's research subsidiary. Our research projects develop along the requirements that arise in our teaching environment. The 100%-subsidiary Forschung Burgenland is solely dedicated working on R&D-projects. In our research centers, research emphasizes on topics that come from teaching or go into teaching at our institution. The CENTER FOR BUILDING TECHNOLOGY and the CENTER FOR HEALTH AND WORK RESEARCH are our first core research centers. In 2017 the CENTER CLOUD AND CPS-SECURITY and the CENTER FOR SMART ENERGY AND INNOVATION completed the center structure. In addition to that, we do research on heat pump systems of the future and run a group focusing on social science methodology. Our R&D-activities take place in our facilities in Pinkafeld and Eisenstadt. The research carried out in the University of Applied Sciences Burgenland complements the respective course programs and departments. Currently, we are working on more than 100 research and consulting projects with an overall volume in excess of 5 million Euro. The research activities range from large international projects with up to 100 partners to pin-pointed on-demand research projects. In addition to engaging in a variety of research projects, we are also concerned with increasing the public's awareness for the outcomes of research. We are looking at those outcomes from several angles. On the one hand, research directly creates jobs in the region. On the other hand, research sparks a series of indirect outcomes, such as increasing a region's value, the weaving of networks between research, higher education and the economy and boosting the power of innovation in a region.
