Research

Research and development are of particular importance at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences.

On the one hand, they create attractive and practice-orientated teaching due to their high level of practical relevance. On the other hand, they enable competent solutions to industrial, economic and social problems thanks to the intensive contact between university lecturers and the regional economy.

In this section, we have compiled a practical overview of current research, development and consultancy projects for SMEs. Detailed information on services and expertise, research and work priorities and laboratories and facilities that are suitable for cooperation with practice can be obtained from the Department of Research and Science Transfer.

Collaboration with research partners can take place on many levels. In addition to research services directly commissioned by customers, co-operation in publicly or privately funded research projects is also conceivable. In addition, Bachelor's and Master's theses are a welcome and successful instrument in the transfer between university and industry for small research and development tasks due to their short processing times.

Self-control in science

Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences has Guidelines and rules for safeguarding good scientific practice (Official Announcement of the Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences, Edition 3/2004) and for dealing with academic misconduct, which are part of the self-regulation in science at the Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences.

The guidelines for safeguarding good scientific practice and the rules for dealing with scientific misconduct are based on the proposals of the German Research Foundation and have been applied at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences since December 2005.
