These are characterized by particular application and specific research methods in all research areas anchored at the University Of Applied Sciences Potsdam.
Institute for Applied Research (IaF)
The Institute for Applied Research Urban Futures (IaF) takes up inter- and transdisciplinary questions of urban developments and works on them in research projects. Despite its supra-regional and international network, the IaF also sees itself as a catalyst for applied research in cooperation with regional actors. It supports interdisciplinary cooperation as well as the dynamization and expansion of research collaborations with practical partners from business, administration, and civil society.
Profile Lines
In order to bundle the research activities more strongly with a view to the current challenges of our society, the research profile has been continuously developed both disciplinarily and strengthened interdisciplinarily in recent years. In recent years, teaching, research and transfer activities have increasingly been realized within the university in the subject areas of Urban Futures, Interaction Design and Information Visualization, Digitization and Data Management, Social Transformation and Early Childhood Education Research.
As a result of these activities, the three profile lines Digital Transformation – Urban Futures, Educating Society and Designing∙Building∙Preserving have been established, which address social challenges and future issues across disciplines.
