Institutes, affiliated institutes and technology transfer centers

The Institute for Construction and Property initiates, designs and realizes continuing education courses in the construction and property sector. In addition, it certifies training and competence standards and conducts research and development work to ensure scientific quality and practical relevance in the study courses offered. The Institute for Construction and Property belongs to the Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering.

The Institute for Wood Construction (HSA_ifh) is an accredited certification authority according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17065:2013 and is authorized to perform its activities throughout Europe. This includes, for example, checking materials and components, supervising wood construction companies in line with building authority requirements, and awarding associated compliance certificates (Ü and CE markings). The Institute for Wood Construction belongs to the Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering.

The Institute for Innovative Security (THA_innos) develops IT security technologies and security processes tailored to the current requirements of Industry 4.0. It also trains IT security experts, who are in demand in industry and society. It belongs to the Faculties of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.

The Institute for Resource-Efficient Data Transfer and Processing (HSA_ired) designs highly innovative solutions for transferring, processing and distributing electronic data. In addition to research and development work, training is provided for young professionals in data transfer and processing. HSA_ired belongs to the Faculties of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

The Institute for Agile Software Development (THA_ias) conducts research in close cooperation with partners from industry and academia in the areas of agile software development, programming languages & security, process digitization, and AI applications. The resulting projects cover a wide range of applications, such as digital health, production technology or digitization of public administration. The education and training of software engineers for the challenges of the future is a central concern of the institute.

The Production Technology Center of the Technical University of Augsburg (THA_ptz) is the first point of contact for questions about production technology in the Swabia region.

The THA_ptz team generates and transfers new knowledge for the region and trains specialists for Bavarian Swabia as a business location. For this purpose, an efficient research center is being set up, which is geared towards the requirements and the resources already available in the region, both in terms of personnel and equipment.

The aim is to network with companies and research institutions both regionally and nationally.

The Production Technology Center is another Institute of the Technical University of Augsburg and thus a suitable addition to the research landscape of the university.

In the center of the Technology Park West Bavaria is the Technology Center West Bavaria with the business units "Innovation and Startup Center", "ICT Competence Center" and "F&D User Center". New processes, components and products are developed in close cooperation with regional companies in this dedicated technology area. The TCW offers general engineering, marketing and ICT services and coordinates a "Process Automation Cluster". This group of companies focuses on bundling activities in the areas of technology and personnel development, joint procurement, and supplier and partner development.

Since 2014, about ten scientists from the ITA Augsburg – also as part of the "MAI Carbon" group – have been researching carbon fiber-reinforced composites (CFK) with the aim of establishing textile processes and products more firmly in the industry and designing them efficiently for the industry. A special focus is placed on researching digital textile processes and developing sustainable products. Modern textile production lines are available to the scientists in the Sigma Technopark and in the Technology Center Augsburg.

The Donau-Ries University Center has been an external location of the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences since 2011, bringing innovations and sought-after personalities to the Ries with application-oriented research, academic teaching and further education.

• The Flexible Automation Technology Transfer Center in Nördlingen focuses its research on the development of automation solutions for production with many variants. www.hs-augsburg.de/HSZDR/TTZ-Noerdlingen
• In the innovative study model 'Digital and Regional', bachelor's degrees in Systems Engineering are trained part-time in Nördlingen. www.digital-und-regional.de

• The TTZ Data Analytics in Donauwörth deals with the analysis and evaluation of large amounts of data. The research results should provide new impetus for digital business models. www.hs-augsburg.de/ttz-data-analytics

The Donau-Ries university center developed in close cooperation between the regional economy, the city of Nördlingen, the city of Donauwörth, the district of Donau-Ries and TCW GmbH. All sub-areas are funded by the Free State of Bavaria.

The TTZ Flexible Automation in Nördlingen supports companies in the digital transformation of their production technology. Together with predominantly regional partners, it develops innovative solutions for flexible automation in multi-variant production with small quantities. The focus is on process development for Industry 4.0, digital production twins, innovative assistance systems and industrial cognitive robotics.

The Augsburg University of Applied Sciences received approximately six million euros in funding from the Bavarian Ministry of Science to set up and establish a Technology Transfer Center (TTZ) in Donauwörth with a focus on "Data Analytics". The new TTZ commenced operation in the fall of 2020 and focuses on the analysis and evaluation of large volumes of data. The research results are intended to provide new inspiration for digital business models.

The Technology Transfer Center (TTZ) Landsberg am Lech is a further location of the Augsburg Technical University of Applied Sciences and is dedicated to the topics of data science and autonomous systems. These future topics were initially worked on at various faculties of the Augsburg Technical University of Applied Sciences and have been bundled at the Landsberg location since the beginning of 2023. Research results from these highly sought-after areas are transferred to companies in the region and new technologies are developed in joint research projects. In addition to research and development, the TTZ Lansberg also offers seminars and further training opportunities for students at the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences and company employees.

The Technology Transfer Center (TTZ) in Aichach, as another location of the Technical University of Augsburg, is dedicated to the topics of digital planning and manufacturing in the construction industry. These future topics are being worked on at the Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering at the Technical University of Augsburg and have been able to be further developed at the Aichach site since the end of April 2023 in close cooperation with regional companies. Research results from this subject area, which is in high demand, are transferred to companies in the region and new technologies are developed in joint research projects.

With the TTZ in Aichach, the Technical University of Augsburg manages one of two locations of the technology transfer center for digital and sustainable value creation systems. The Neu-Ulm University of Applied Sciences manages the other location in Leipheim.
