Active research projects

FZA – Allgäu Research Centre forms the central hub for our research efforts into the major challenges of our time – energy, mobility, manufacturing, and social innovations. Our students undertake postgraduate work on scientific projects as members of interdisciplinary research teams under the expert guidance of the university’s professors – leading as far as doctoral theses. We conduct application-focused research, which means that all our projects are either directly commissioned by or run in conjunction with industry. That’s how we spark genuine innovation.
