2024: 344 scientific publications at HFU!
Furtwangen University stands for excellent applied research. Its members proved this once again in 2024 with a special achievement. Last year, they published more than any other university of applied sciences (HAW) in the state. The top ranking in terms of contributions to renowned international journals with strict peer review procedures and in terms of doctorates is a special distinction for the quality and high reputation of HFU research. With a total of 344 scientific publications, HFU is by far the number one university in Baden-Württemberg, as shown by the annual survey of quality assurance for research at universities of applied sciences. This outstanding achievement is also made possible by the early involvement of early-career scientists and the large number of doctoral projects carried out at and with HFU.
With over €9m, HFU is also one of the top 5 universities in the state in terms of third-party research funding. The funded projects and infrastructures in all of the university's key areas form the basis for an attractive research environment in which professors, together with early-career scientists, their colleagues, and students, can publish new findings and scientific solutions, thus making them available to society.
