Collaboration & Knowledge Transfer

We provide the funding and scholarships for an invitation to incoming researchers from the cooperating institutions to participate in research stays and an invitation to outgoing researchers of the Cluster to work with our international partners.

In addition, we offer the aforementioned Visiting Professorship aimed at attracting renowned international figures in the field of IntCDC.

Cooperation between the institutes contributes to cultural enrichment, scientific progress and the consolidation of friendship.

We are proud of our excellent colleagues from the following partner universities and research institutions. We build on a successful cooperation and exchange.

The Cluster’s International Research Programme facilitates our international collaboration and exchange. It provides the funding and scholarships for an annual invitation to:

• Incoming researchers from the cooperating institutions to participate in research stays of up to three months.

• Outgoing researchers of the Cluster to work with international partners for up to three months.

The Cluster of Excellence “Integrative Computational Design and Construction for Architecture” (IntCDC) invites applications for the IntCDC Incoming Exchange Programme. All researchers from the cooperating institutions are invited to apply.

The Cluster has established and funded a new Visiting Professorship Programme aimed at attracting prominent international scientists in the field of IntCDC for a period of 1 to 3 months.

IntCDC, industry collaborations are a powerful tool for exchanging knowledge and experience between academia and industry.

With a stronger interdisciplinary and intensified industry exchange, we aim to comprehensively advance the Cluster's integrative approaches to address the most important building typologies and related challenges. Our industry collaborations support the validation of research results and their transfer to industry.

The Cluster’s Industry Consortium (IC) reflects all relevant facets of the building industry and will ensure direct knowledge exchange, transfer and rapid impact of research results into the application.

The tasks of the IC are actively support the cluster with lectures and webinars as well as the joint writing of papers and publications.

Our Industry Consortium (IC) does not only serve for knowledge exchange and transfer but is also relevant for early career support as a bilateral recruitment platform for all.

Scientific and social relationships are instigated and built up by the IC, so that successful PhDs and postdocs have the opportunity to pursue an industry career. 

The IC supports the early career advancement of the clusters of doctoral researchers and postdocs in the form of mentoring and advice and through mutual research stays.

For further information or in case of questions, please contact the Cluster’s Collaboration’s Manager.

The Cluster’s Research Programme facilitates our industrial collaboration and exchange. We offer industry secondments with partners of the Cluster's Industry Consortium (IC) as part of the Cluster’s knowledge transfer measures. We enabling IntCDC’s researchers to spend up to three months in the field with IC companies as part of the support measures for early career researchers.

Similarly, the Cluster will host practitioners from the IC companies for academic internships in its labs at the university.

We provide the funding and scholarships for Incoming and Outgoing.

SPIN-OFF AND START-UP WITH ENI

SUPPORTING MEASURE

The Cluster promotes an active start-up culture in order to spin-off and transfer findings into the industry.

The EXC – Start-Up Series jointly organized by the Institute of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Science (ENI), the Cluster of Excellence IntCDC and the Cluster of Excellence SimTech, comprises the following components:

EXC – Start-up Talks

The EXC – Start-up Talks will feature discussions on current start-up topics with active and successful founders from the respective areas of the clusters. Topics will include such as success factors, collaborations and the path from research to market. The discussion, which are organized and moderated by Marcel Werle and Philipp Häßler, involve other experts from the University of Stuttgart’s start-up network.

EXC – Start-up Lectures

The EXC – Start-up Lectures are designed to introduce researchers to topics that are necessary for starting their own business. These include legal aspects, IP, financing and market analysis. Experts from within the University and from Stuttgart’s ecosystem will give the lectures.

EXC – Start-up Workshops

The EXC – Start-up Workshops provide an interactive opportunity for researchers to develop a commercial perspective on their own research and potentially advance initial business ideas based on their research findings. The workshops will apply state-of-the-art start-up methodologies such as lean start-up.

The aim is to promote the founding of start-ups from research and its results.
