Alongside teaching and continuing education, research and development are among the original tasks of the Hochschule Hannover - University of Applied Sciences and Arts.
Application-oriented research and development projects are of interest both for attractive Bachelor's and Master's theses and for the transfer of knowledge to industry and society.
The Hochschule Hannover - University of Applied Sciences and Arts expressly encourages its professors to acquire and implement research and development projects together with companies and other institutions. Research and development cooperation with public funding as well as cooperation directly financed by companies and other institutions play a prominent role.
The
forms the basis for this.
If the company commissions a specific research or development service from the university or if it is planned that the results of the project will be made available exclusively to the third-party funder, this is usually contract research.
This means that the service must be offered to the university at normal market costs and the full costs must be invoiced to the third-party funder.
For further information, please contact the Research, Development and Transfer Department.
If the primary aim of the research project is to conduct research and publish the results, this can be done within the framework of a research and development cooperation.
In this case, the partner and the university conduct joint research in the project. The partner usually supports the university's research financially and/or with material resources. Taking these framework conditions into account, the HsH may provide services at basic costs. Since the focus of this type of project is on the general expansion of knowledge and understanding, no transfer of rights can be guaranteed by the university.
For further information, please contact the Research, Development and Transfer Department.
Teaching cooperation enables direct contact between companies and interested students within the framework of practice-oriented project work. The services provided by students in courses are neither remunerated nor invoiced.
In a teaching cooperation, the partner supports the higher education institution in fulfilling its teaching duties. In this case, the services of the HsH can be provided at basic cost.
A transfer of rights to the results cannot be agreed by the higher education institution, as the students are in principle the legal owners of the work they produce in the context of teaching. Any transfer of rights is subject to a separate agreement between the project partner and the students involved.
For further information, please contact the Research, Development and Transfer Department.
Applying for public funding is an attractive option for financing extensive research and development projects at the university or in cooperation with external partners. Corresponding framework conditions are explicitly specified by the funding body and can vary greatly. The Research, Development and Transfer Department will be happy to help you find the right funding programme for you or a professional contact. Before applying for public funding, you should always consult with the Research, Development and Transfer Department at an early stage in order to ensure a smooth and timely procedure.
