Research at the university

Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg is a university with a strong research profile. Scientists at a total of 17 institutes conduct research at the highest level, with topics ranging from detection technologies to genetics and sustainable development to visual computing. In total, the H-BRS is active in more than 60 research fields. Our focus is on the topics of sustainability, digitalisation and security. Thanks to numerous cooperations with regional and transregional business and industry as well as with research institutions, the researchers at H-BRS are very well connected.

In the spotlight: CytoTransport - Mechanisms and Modulation of Cellular Transport Processes

The DFG-funded research cluster CytoTransport combines expertise in biomedicine, computational modeling, structural biology, chemistry and materials science to investigate cellular transport mechanisms in health and disease. To this end, nine working groups from two university research focus areas are working together.

CytoTransport - Mechanisms and Modulation of Cellular Transport Processes

Research focus areas

In dialog with society, politics and companies, researchers are solving pressing issues of our time, whether it is the success of the energy transition, the prevention of terrorist and explosive attacks or human genetics. Research focuses on security research, sustainability, resource conservation and energy efficiency, visual computing, life sciences and health, cytotransport and AI and autonomous systems.

Young academics and doctorates

The Graduate Institute (GI) plays an important role in research at H-BRS: it was founded in 2010 to support doctoral students who are primarily working in research at H-BRS in their doctoral projects and to ensure quality assurance with the help of qualification programs. By summer 2022, 63 cooperative doctoral projects had been successfully completed at H-BRS. At that time, 119 cooperative doctoral projects were in progress.

Centre of Applied Research (ZAF)

With the opening of the Centre of Applied Research (ZAF) in 2018 Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences explores new fields in research cooperation with external partners.
In the research facilities of ZAF collaborative working groups of internal and external scientists from economy, society and non-university insititutions are working on new innovationswith a broad focus on transfer.

Centre for Science and Technology Transfer (ZWT)

The Center for Science and Technology Transfer (ZWT) is the central point of contact for science, business and society when it comes to cooperations involving application-oriented research at and with the university. The ZWT also supports H-BRS researchers in applying for funding for their projects.
