Department 7 - Research Funding and Support
Research is one of the central tasks of Universities of Applied Sciences.
The team of department 7 “Research Funding” supports researchers at Bochum University of Applied Sciences in various projects and inquiries related to research and transfer - both in a national and international context.
Our support focuses on the acquisition and management of research projects and the exploitation of research results. Here, we advise the university's scientists on managing inventions and applying for intellectual property rights, as well as on start-up projects. We also support the development of early-career researchers.
The department is divided into three main areas:

Third-Party Funding Management
The department of Third-Party Funding Management is responsible for and handles the financial administration of projects funded by external sources. These can include both projects in a commercial and non-commercial context. Furthermore, the department's staff also provide guidance on the development of proposals for commercial projects.
Research and Transfer
The department “Research and Transfer” is involved in different core activities. These include advising on applications for non-commercial (generally publicly funded) projects, research documentation (KDSF and RDM), as well as the promotion of young scientists (Ph.D. candidates and postdocs). Other areas of responsibility include the management of inventions and intellectual property rights, the entrepreneurial services, and the regional offices for economic cooperations in Hattingen, Herne, and Witten. In addition, the department oversees the Career Service, the dual study programs and the "Deutschlandstipendium".

THALESruhr Transfer Hub
As a central transfer service and management unit, the “THALESruhr Transfer Hub” combines the HSBO's existing transfer services. It also develops new formats for providing advice and networking for internal and external stakeholders, such as the MachMobil, the MachBar and the THALESruhr Sustainability Alliance ("Nachhaltigkeitsallianz THALESruhr").
The aim is to integrate interactive and agile technology solutions from the university community into the local economy and society. To achieve this, the team utilizes interactive and flexible formats to strengthen the connections with cities, citizens, companies, and other stakeholders in the region. In addition, the Transfer Hub will ensure professional impact assessment and quality assurance of such transfer activities in the future.
