Research funding

Designing research strategically

IU International University of Applied Science conducts application-oriented research in its departments Hospitality, Tourism & Event; Transport & Logistics; Health; Social Sciences; Economics & Management; Marketing & Communication; IT & Technology; Design, Architecture & Construction and Human Resources. The basis of research funding at the IU International University of Applied Science is the research concept, in which all funding measures are defined and which reflects the underlying practice-oriented understanding of research and transfer.  

In accordance with the recommendations of the German Science Council (2021), this has been revised in recent months. The research infrastructure is currently being restructured. The goal is to establish various institutes, research centres and temporary incubators, which should also visibly sharpen the IU International University of Applied Science research profile to the outside world. 

Another pillar of IU International University of Applied Science research is the individual research of IU International University of Applied Science professors, which is supported and encouraged by various measures. More information on this can be found on the individual faculty websites.
