This principle applies in particular to the subject of research at a university of applied sciences. Research at the Hochschule Niederrhein is application-oriented; here, the people doing the research always have the immediate benefit of their results in mind. For the university's cooperation partners - companies, organizations, social institutions - the results of this research offer real competitive and locational advantages.
The Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences has established the Department II - Research and Transfer to support the professors who conduct research.
The tasks of the Department of Research and Transfer include the following central points:
