Research

FH Aachen is one of the most research-intensive universities of applied sciences in Germany. The expertise of the scientists in our faculties and institutes is  primarily in the areas of energy and sustainable construction, mobility, life sciences, digitalisation and industrial production. Research at FH Aachen is practice-oriented: we see ourselves as an interdisciplinary think tank, and our actions are oriented towards concrete requirements. The researchers at FH Aachen develop good ideas and new concepts to tackle the challenges facing society - always with a view to real-life applications, and, gladly, in cooperation with regional companies. Last but not least, research is a stepping stone for our students - be it in doctoral projects or by founding their own company.
