COORDINATED COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH

Link toTUHH Equipment Database

"The Equipment Database of the Hamburg University of Technology is a new tool to promote scientific collaboration and transparency. The database is integrated into the TORE research information system, offers advantages for internal and external stakeholders, facilitates the use of specialised equipment and promotes the visibility of Hamburg University of Technology as a research-intensive institution.

The Technical University uses the equipment database to map its large-scale equipment for research and innovative applications. These include many others:

• Electron microskopes for high-resolution material analyses in the electron microscopy operating unit,
• Logistics robots used in automation and process optimisation,
• Mass spectrometers with substance class libraries of the Central Laboratory for chemical analyses,
• The Institute of Fluid Dynamics and Ship Theory uses the wind tunnel for flow analyses and aerodynamic tests.

These devices not only offer researchers internal access to the latest technology, but are also available in part for collaborations with external partners. The device database uses the DFG device classification to systematically and uniformly categorise the registered devices. This standardised classification facilitates the search for specific equipment and enables comparability both within the university and with other research institutions."
