Research and transfer centres in the HAW Hamburg faculties

The research and transfer centres (RTCs) work at the faculty level. They each have their own administrative structure and involve at least three professors, and in some cases additional academic staff, who undertake joint transfer-oriented projects on particular research topics. Cross-faculty cooperation within the research and transfer centres is possible.
