Our close cooperation with practitioners offers the opportunity to learn about the needs and preferences of the employment market. We believe in scientific knowledge of high practical relevance through education and research in collaboration with private and public organizations. This is reflected in our motto: “Knowledge is worth nothing without the ability to use it".
