Changes

The faculty at TU Hamburg is encouraged through multiple collaborations with innovative companies in Hamburg. One way this unfolds is that a lot of PhD Students write their thesis with a company to have a direct impact in the economy and the university lectures will then be enriched by the research. Further more Furthermore, faculty members can also work on projects at the Start Up Dock and possibly create their own start-ups. Also, they are welcome to further educate themselves on I&E related topics in the workshops provided by the Startup Dock, Tutech Innovation GmbH and Northern Institute of Technology Management (NiT). However, it is rather unlikely that a lot of faculty members attend courses at NiT, since these are focused at upskilling employees of established companies. Some collaborations are also with research facilities as well, may that often be fundamental research. These include the [https://www.tuhh.de/tuhh/forschung/forschungsschwerpunkte-und-verbuende/zhm.html Helmholtz Center Geesthacht], the [https://intranet.tuhh.de/aktuell/pressemitteilung_einzeln.php?Lang=en&id=9845 German Electron Synchrotron (DESY)] and the [https://cgi.tu-harburg.de/~iltwww/en/ German Aerospace Center (DLR)]. This might not create a start up at first, but it opens the university to a greater spectrum of technical possibilities that will spark conversations and collaboration at the university itself. Thereby research efforts are primarily focused on the objectives pursued by the following research centers: * [https://www.tuhh.de/alt/tuhh/studying/schools-of-study/civil-engineering.html Research Center for Integrated Biotechnology and Process Engineering]* [https://www.tuhh.de/alt/tuhh/research/research-centers/climate-protecting-energy-and-environmental-engineering.html Research Center for Climate Protecting Energy- and Environmental Engineering]* [https://www.tuhh.de/alt/tuhh/research/research-centers/climate-protecting-energy-and-environmental-engineering.html Research Center for Regeneration, Implants, Medical Technology]* [https://www.tuhh.de/tuhh/forschung/forschungsschwerpunkte-und-verbuende/fmthh.html Research Center for Medical Technology]* [https://www.tuhh.de/alt/tuhh/research/research-centers/maritime-systems.html Research Center for Maritime Systems]* [https://www.tuhh.de/alt/tuhh/research/research-centers/aeronautics.html Research Center for Aeronautics]* [https://www.tuhh.de/alt/tuhh/research/research-centers/product-oriented-materials-development.html Research Center for Product-Oriented Materials Development]* [https://www.tuhh.de/alt/tuhh/research/research-centers/logistics-and-mobility.html Research Center for Logistics and Mobility for Sustainable Value Creation]* [https://www.tuhh.de/alt/tuhh/research/research-centers/digital-production-logistics-maintenance-repair-and-overhaul-mro.html Research Center for Digital Production, Logistics, Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO)]* [https://www.tuhh.de/alt/tuhh/research/research-centers/coordinated-programs/dfg-coordinated-programs/sfb-986.html Collaborative Research Center Tailor-Made Multi-Scale Materials Systems] Furthermore, the I³ Program is fostering the collaboration between different scientific fields. Interdisciplinary oriented projects including scientists of TU get funded.
