Applied Research
The Fachhochschule des Mittelstands (FHM) focuses on applied research and practical economic research as a partner of the SME. Based on this general principle the FHM is involved in scientific studies and research projects aimed at those fields which have a particular relevance for SME companies or are of particular, direct use for SME companies. As a result a large proportion of FHM research projects are financed through third party investment and foundation professors.
In addition to that the results of the research naturally flow into the lecture theatre. The students can benefit first hand from the research and can get involved with the various projects through academic papers or theses.
The transfer of know-how from the campus to industry is assured through publications from the FHM publishing house or external educational publishing houses, through open workshops, congresses and further education seminars. The university’s own institutes add to the large amount of significant, applied research produced by the Fachhochschule des Mittelstands (FHM) for industry.
The Science Council of the Republic of Germany recognised the Fachhochschule des Mittelstands (FHM), as part of its assessment process for institutional accreditation in July 2007, for its impressive performance in the field of applied research.
