Transferwerk

The Transferwerk (Transfer Office) of the University of Nordhausen (T-HSN) identifies and develops potential projects for collaboration between the university's scientists, partners, and citizens of the region, functioning as an innovation-oriented cooperation partner, both internally and externally. Transfer activities focus on societal issues such as public welfare, GreenTech, and climate protection.

The interface function of the Transferwerk aims to strengthen internal research activities by providing support in third-party funding and regional funding distribution, through scientific communication on a regional level, and support networking with potential partners.

To promote the recursive process of transfer performance and idea generation, while simultaneously managing the activities of the Transferwerk, a Transfer Advisory Board has been established. The Transfer Advisory Board consists of regional leaders, including entrepreneurs, politicians, and scientists. The project is overseen by Prof. Dr. Jörg Wagner, Prof. Dr. Steffen Dörhöfer, and Prof. Dr. Elmar Hinz.

To increase the reach of the transfer activities of the University of Nordhausen, a mobile showroom will be utilized, with the aim of increasing awareness of the university accomplishments and services in the business, organizational, administrative, and societal sectors and to attract potential partners for future collaboration. The showroom allows the university to actively engage with its partners, as well as the citizens of Nordhausen, North Thuringia and neighbouring states. The showroom will exhibit current scientific findings and explain approaches to societal challenges through practical everyday topics at regularly changing locations. Additionally, information will be provided about current and planned projects in the region.

Like the university, the showroom is GreenTech. It is a pneumatic tent solution: enclosed, inflatable, frameless, and self-supporting. The tents come in a range of sizes and can be combined and flexibly adjusted to meet various needs, allowing for multifunctional use of the interior space, and enabling the realization of different event formats such as trade show appearances, presentations, or exhibitions. The electric bus is an integral part of the concept, it serves as a power source and a permanent exhibit feature, allowing for hands-on and engaging scientific experiences, including demonstrations of how energy is generated using PV modules and consumed through showroom operations. The electric bus also serves as a means of transportation for the tents and equipment.

Transferwerk Structure

We see ourselves as a cooperation and collaboration interface between the lecturers, researchers and administrators of the university, and external parties from the business, societal, and cultural sectors. Our interdisciplinary team consists of six transfer scouts, with each transfer scout assigned to a research institute and serving as a contact person when it comes to research and knowledge transfer services.
