Students and faculty members in the academic and scientific area of Mechatronics focus on conducting base-knowledge research as well as developing real-world applications. There are many collaboration efforts with research partners and companies aimed at cutting-edge advancements in science and industry. Knowledge-transfer to the broad general public is just as important  - be it at events such as the Long Night of Research, the "KinderUni" summer program for children, presentations, and lab demonstrations.
