Institute for Industrial Mathematics (IFIM)
The Institute of Industrial Mathematics (IFIM) is an interdisciplinary research institute of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics (EIM) with the proper task of identifying mathematical problems together with partners from industry and developing efficient solutions and solution methods.
IFIM's services are of particular interest to small and medium-sized companies, which often do not have large research departments. The IFIM offers a wide range of support here:
• Direct cooperation between companies and science
• Joint implementation of project or final theses
• Joint application for public research projects
Projects
First and foremost are concrete research projects with industrial and other research partners, some of which are realized as individual industrial projects, others within larger joint projects or in a sequence of projects that build on each other. The IFIM benefits from being well integrated into the research landscape at regional, national and international level.
The cooperation between the Institute of Industrial Mathematics and partners from industry has led to significant progress in scientific, economic and technological terms. In this way, the technology transfer of top mathematical research directly into companies is promoted in an uncomplicated manner. In addition to specific projects, the IFIM also makes a significant contribution to technology transfer to industry by qualifying young scientists. This takes place through regular IFIM courses within the mathematics degree programs (especially mathematical internships, seminars on topics from industrial mathematics), Bachelor's and Master's theses issued jointly with industrial partners and doctoral projects in connection with industrial cooperation.
