Research & Development (R&D) joins teaching as an important pillar of activity for Salzburg University of Applied Sciences and is characterised by real-world applicability and close links to business, industry and society.
Research, Innovation & Transfer
Around 150 researchers are currently working on over 80 R&D projects. Around 60% of the funding comes from federal research funding institutions (e.g. CDG, FFG, FWF), 15% from funding from the state of Salzburg and 10% from direct company funding. The remaining 15% comes from EU projects (e.g. ERDF, Horizon 2020) and other federal or internal funding programmes.
Numerous projects per year and a large number of scientific publications reflect the research expertise of our scientists. State-of-the-art technology and high-end equipment in the laboratories guarantee a modern and efficient research infrastructure.
This makes the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences an innovative research and cooperation partner for regional, national and an increasing number of international companies.
Research foci
In its strategy for research, technology and innovation, the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences defines six key research areas - analogous to the departmental structure: Social Innovation, Future Service Industries, Human-Centered Technologies & Design, Applied Health Innovation, Sustainable Materials and Technologies and Industrial Informatics.
With these research specialisations, the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences makes relevant contributions to social, digital and ecological transformation.
