The research activities at our University are enshrined in the engineering fundamental research. An indicator for success in fundamental research and its quality is the allocation of research grants from the German Research Foundation (DFG). So far, four collaborative research centres, five graduate schools, four research units and various priority programs could be set up at the TUHH.

Professor Heinrich is the DFG Liaison Officer at TUHH.
