Research Institutes and Centres
In addition to classical faculty-related work, three institutes and centres have developed at HTW Dresden in recent years. These focus on concrete aspects of content and work together beyond the boundaries of the faculties.
In addition, the Centre for Applied Research and Technology has been in existence since 1998. (ZAFT), a research centre affiliated to HTW Dresden in accordance with Saxon university legislation. In addition to numerous scientists of the HTW Dresden, external and emeritus researchers are also active here.
The Institute for Applied Electronics (IAE) is a scientific institution at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. It bundles essential research foci of the faculty and promotes the interdisciplinary scientific cooperation of the participating professorships. The institute focuses on the cooperation with non-university institutions and companies of the free economy.

The Research Institute of Automotive Engineering focuses on projects that focus on optimizing the combustion engine. Reducing pollutant emissions while simultaneously increasing efficiency is one of the most important development goals.
