Section overview
Description
In the following three research profile areas of TH Köln, societal challenges are addressed in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary projects in order to make an active contribution to the further development of science, civil society, business, culture and politics.
Integrative Society and Resilience – Opportunities and threats resulting from growing cultural heterogeneity and urbanization characterize our modern society. In the profile area, problems from education and social affairs, design, culture, security and risk that arise from this are bundled together and interlinked with each other in an interdisciplinary manner.
Digital Work and Living environments – Digital transformation and the changes associated with this require innovative ideas and solutions for all areas of work and life. As part of the profile area, new technologies are developed and the effects of these on modern society are researched.
Sustainable Management and Resources – Due to population growth and climate change, the sustainable handling of resources is essential. The profile area is devoted to this topic and develops solutions and technologies relating to energy- and resource-efficient management and the use of alternative substances and new materials.
