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 Research Institute for Intelligent Interactive Technical Systems is a scientific institution at the Faculty of Computer Science/Mathematics, headed by an institute council. It bundles essential research focuses of the faculty and promotes the interdisciplinary scientific cooperation of the participating professorships. The qualification of young scientists within the framework of research and doctoral projects is a central concern. The research institute also ensures a sustainable research infrastructure at the faculty.

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.

Close cooperation with the Centre for Applied Research and Technology has proven successful in the research activities of the faculties. Interdisciplinary networking in cross-faculty projects leads to expanded possibilities for innovative solutions. Together with the university, ZAFT guarantees the professional processing and organization of projects.

The Centre for Medium-Sized Businesses is an association of professors and scientists of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration and external specialists to support the performance of medium-sized companies in Saxony. The focus is exclusively on economic issues of SMEs.
