For Siemens

The flagship scientific collaboration program at Siemens is called the Siemens Research and Innovation Ecosystem (RIE). Siemens RIE gives Siemens access to cutting-edge research and a highly qualified talent pool. Erlangen-Nuremberg is the largest Siemens location in number of employees and thus, the Friedrich Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg is lead partner of Siemens Research and Innovation Ecosystem in the region. Siemens and FAU carry out joint research projects with practical relevance and open up important career opportunities for students. Further players are engaged in this ecosystem like Fraunhofer, OHM, ZOLLHOF, EnCs, UTN, EELISA, DTA, KI-Park, JOSEPHS and Helmholtz.

The Siemens RIE program creates an intensive dialogue between the academic and industrial worlds. At the Siemens RIE office, Siemens RIE manager (Katharina Gaull) manages the partnership in constant exchange with a dedicated team of Siemens experts (Ilaria Carrara Cagni and Karin Bruendl) for research and talent acquisition. We are particularly proud, that Siemens AG CEO Roland Busch is Chairman of the University Council, maintaining close dialogue with the FAU President Joachim Hornegger.

Fixed research contracts with FAU invite launching new research projects easily, unbureaucratically and quickly.

 

By cooperating with FAU, Siemens strengthens its innovative power and gains insights into cutting-edge research projects

Partnership CCT – Projects

Siemens wants to be at the cutting edge of several important technology, they called Corporate Core Technologies (CCT). In fact, the CCTs have been determined to be critical for Siemens long-term success. This is the reason why FAU supports these fields with experts. In that way, Siemens and FAU R&D efforts are bundled and joint exchange is promoted.
