Heilbronn Institute of Technology

The Heilbronn Institute of Technology (HIT) combines teaching, applied research and transfer. Through industrial projects and publicly funded initiatives, we create practical learning environments and showcase the university's research and development achievements. Students from bachelor's and master's programmes are actively involved in development and research projects – both in cooperation with regional industry and in national and international funding programmes.

The members are professors from various technical disciplines, whose interdisciplinary collaboration is promoted and consolidated.

Research Areas

The Heilbronn Institute of Technology conducts research in the Automotive & Mobility division on alternative propulsion technologies, automated and connected driving as well as sustainable concepts for the future of the automotive industry. 

Another research focus is Materials Processing & Engineering. This area focuses on the development and optimisation of production and manufacturing processes as well as research into future-oriented generative materials.
