As a university of applied sciences, we focus on research and development with a practical emphasis / orientation. This deals with issues from industry and everyday life as well as with fundamental techniques and algorithms for solving practical problems. Research and development projects are not only carried out in our affiliated institutes and competence centres, but also as part of Master's projects (as group work).
Our institutes and competence centres stand for scientific expertise, research with a practical emphasis / orientation and targeted knowledge transfer. They bring together experts from various disciplines and form the foundation course for innovation, quality and sustainable development.
AMI - Laboratory for Ambient Intelligence
The Laboratory for Ambient Intelligence, or AmI Laboratory for short, is a research laboratory involved in the development of assistance technologies and systems. It deals with topics from the areas of demographic change, learning and education as well as support for people in their professional lives, which are dealt with as part of research projects. → learn more
CLAVIS - Institute for Information Security
Compliant data protection and perfect data security, no threat from hackers or espionage attacks/software. An appropriate level of information security and the protection of mobile devices have been declared standard. The strategic goal of CLAVIS is therefore to support partners in the region in particular: Application-oriented research to ensure and increase the information security of organisations in the Middle Lower Rhine region. The Hochschule Niederrhein's Clavis Institute for Information Security sees itself as a regional link between industry, other researchers and teaching education. → learn more

The "ISA" competence centre establishes a practical, transparent and structured approach in which interdisciplinary, results-oriented problem solving enables the rapid transfer of new findings into practical solutions for a wide range of current social issues. → learn more
LayerLab - Laboratory for Additive Manufacturing
As part of research and externally-funded projects, the faculty offers the development of prototypes in the LayerLab (rapid prototyping/additive manufacturing (AM), generative manufacturing with 3D printers). → learn more
NOVA - Novel Electronics and Advanced Materials
The NOVA competence centre focuses on the development of flexible organic and nanostructure-based electronics. The development and progress in flexible electronics requires close interdisciplinary collaboration between experts from the fields of chemistry, materials science, electronics, mechatronics and computer science in order to create innovative solutions and fulfil the diverse requirements of this emerging technology. → Learn more
STAR - Surface Technology Applied Research Competence Centre
The STAR competence centre sees itself as a cooperation partner for industry. The services offered are primarily intended to benefit medium-sized companies in the region. Innovative material concepts and surface technologies are required for the development of new high-quality machines, particularly in the fields of transport, energy technology, water treatment and microsystems technology. If problems arise in industrial application practice, the STAR competence centre offers prompt solutions thanks to concentrated project assignments. → learn more
SWK E² - Institute of Energy Technology and Energy Management at The Hochschule Niederrhein
The SWK E² Institute offers interdisciplinary research and teaching expertise in the field of energy by professors with different specialisations from the various faculties of the Hochschule Niederrhein, supported by numerous academic staff and students. The institute was founded in 2012, but initially as an interdisciplinary competence centre, even then in cooperation with our long-standing and reliable partner, SWK-Stadtwerke Krefeld. → learn more
The majority of our research and development (R&D) projects are interdisciplinary and involve co-operation with companies. This can take place in two ways:
We regularly publish in scientific journals and conferences. Unfortunately, there is currently no list of all publications produced by our faculties. However, you can find lists of publications on the websites of the institutes and professors.
You can also find publications by individual authors in the research portal by searching for individual surnames.
In addition, our faculty publishes its own series of technical reports.
The technical reports document various activities of the faculties in research and development. All previously published reports can be downloaded here as open access publications.
