Focus areas of research
The three focus areas of research (“Energy technology and energy efficiency”, “People and Mobility” and “Digital and intelligent systems”) at the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt aim to summarise and represent the qualities at our institution in particular.
The main areas of research at take all technical, economic, social and aesthetic areas into account.
Research focus “Energy technology and energy efficiency”
For this research focus, application-oriented research, development and investigation of technical systems for energy technology and increasing energy efficiency are paramount.
Matters of research include the generation of renewable energy, energy transmission and conversion, and the use of energy. The subject areas architecture, civil engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, plastics engineering, mechanical engineering, mathematics, and physics combine the focus topics of calculation, simulation, and construction of these systems in cross-faculty co-operations.

The second focus lies on the “Mobility” research cluster, which is considered in an interdisciplinary and diversified way - from the closer, physical context to an abstract view.
Mobility is indispensable for both humans and technical systems. We desire mobility: here, today, and when we are old. During this ideally resource-saving mobility, we also wish to access information and services. All ten THWS faculties are represented in this research focus. They work on topics like “Vehicle technology and electric mobility”, “Running therapy”, “Mobility for elderly people”, “Systems for mobile application”, etc.
