Rauschert TechCenter
Collaboration between science and industry
As an ambitious technology company, we are continuously working on innovative solutions. We strive to push the boundaries of what is possible within our areas of technological expertise, always keeping the industrial applications for our customers in mind.
At the same time, sustainability is a key guiding principle in our work. How can we make manufacturing processes more energy-efficient and resource-conserving? What alternative energy sources can we use? How can our product innovations help our customers save energy? These are typical questions we ask ourselves in many of our research projects.
Rauschert has developed the TechCenter concept to foster development at the highest technological level. Together with leading scientific institutions, we closely collaborate on selected key topics, which include:
- Organizing and conducting joint publicly funded collaborative projects
- Joint product and technology development
- Supporting scientific work, up to and including doctoral theses
- Mutual provision and utilisation of equipment and infrastructure
Each TechCenter is managed by a scientific expert from Rauschert who specialises in the respective thematic focus, working either on-site or from technologically relevant locations. Currently, we operate three TechCenters in Germany, with another one currently being established in Ukraine.
- TechCenter Bayreuth
- TechCenter Dresden
- TechCenter Nuremberg
- Project TechCenter Lviv (UA)
Below you will find details of each TechCenter.
