Staff Unit for University Development, Research, and Transfer

Always in tune with the latest developments in higher education policy.

Our motivation is to successfully master projects together. We support researchers from all disciplines in acquiring funding for their research projects and provide advice on ethical competence as well as international publishing. Our Knowledge and Technology Transfer team assists with the commercialization of your research results, even up to the founding of new companies. We coordinate the Forum Konstanz and are establishing a Research Information System. In the FabLab, you can bring your own creative ideas to life. The staff unit is also significantly involved in the Excellence Strategy. Curious? Learn more about us here.
