Department 4: Research, Transfer and Scientific Careers

The main task of the department is to create optimal conditions and frameworks for all research activities at TU Hamburg. This is also to pursue the goal of maximizing the impact of research on industry and society and optimizing its public visibility.

The department actively supports scientists in acquiring research and innovation projects from international, national, public and private funding sources. The Central Facilities of TUHH provide the relevant modern infrastructure.
