A team of economists from the University of Passau has shown how Facebook ads can be used to identify people at risk of developing diabetes.
How will the future labor market look and are European education systems endowing the next generation with the skills they will need to succeed? These questions are at the heart of a new research project at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt.
What are the links between migrant career prospects and their working abroad in the EU? This was a guiding question of a research project coordinated by the University of Bamberg. The project aimed to develop a long-term approach to supporting migrant worker integration and combating labor shortages in the EU.
In collaboration with business partners, researchers are developing ways to improve mobility in rural regions and expand e-vehicle charging infrastructure.
Successful negotiating skills are important in business—but training this ability is both time-consuming and costly. To remedy this, researchers at HNU have combined speech recognition, artificial intelligence, machine learning and virtual reality to develop a virtual negotiation training.
Affective reactions—or gut feelings—play a key role in consumer decision-making. Researchers at the University of Passau are seeking to understand this process better and help consumers make better decisions.
The internet giants need smart regulation. At Passau University, Information Systems professor Jan Krämer and his team are developing models for this.
Companies are increasingly making claims of sustainable production part of their public communications. However, the related ratings and seals of approval tend to focus primarily on CO₂ emissions and energy consumption – while ignoring other important aspects. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now developed a comprehensive method for a holistic environmental analysis of business processes: Sustainability-Oriented Process Analysis (SOPA). This will enable companies to make targeted searches for shortcomings and take measures to conserve resources and reduce emissions.
Isar Aerospace, a spin-off of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), has conducted the first test flight of its rocket - and thus also the first launch of a carrier rocket designed to transport loads into orbit from Western Europe. In future, the system will be used to launch small and medium-sized satellites into space, which are crucial for numerous emerging technologies. The founding of the start-up by three graduates was intensively supported at TUM.
Hof – The circular economy is a key component of a sustainable future. The technology transfer project “TechCirclePolymers” at the Institute for Circular Economy of Bio:Polymers (ibp) at Hof University of Applied Sciences addresses exactly this challenge. The project aims to improve the recycling of plastics and biopolymers, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions and replacing fossil-based raw materials with natural alternatives. A particular focus is on increasing recyclability and extending the lifespan of products.
