Applied Research

Trier University of Applied Sciences is committed to high-performance and application-oriented research. Thanks to its innovative strength, it has managed to reach and consolidate its position as the university of applied sciences with the highest amount of third-party funding in Rhineland-Palatinate.

In doing so, it distinguishes itself particularly through three future-oriented research areas:

  1. "Applied Material Flow Management"
  2. "Intelligent Technologies for Sustainable Development" and
  3. "Life Sciences: Medical and Pharmaceutical Technology, and Biotechnology"

Interdisciplinary teams develop future-oriented solutions to the social challenges created by globalization, the digitalization of life and work, climate change, and the associated demands on sustainable energy production and resource management, as well as the challenges posed by an aging society and the increased need for a healthy and secure life. Special meaning is awarded to a combination of sustainability and innovation, which form the basis of this developmental approach.
