The Nuremberg Institute of Technology (Nuremberg Tech, German: Technische Hochschule Nurnberg Georg Simon Ohm) is a German higher education institution with an almost 200-year history. It is located in Nuremberg, Bavaria. Today Nuremberg Tech is one of Germany’s institutes of technology and known for the application oriented focus in its degree programs and in its research. The Nuremberg Institute of Technology cooperates with industry, commerce and public institutions. R&D projects run under industry contract as well as under public funding by the State of Bavaria, the Federal Republic of Germany or the European Union in several strategic fields such as energy, mobility, secondary and new materials, buildings and cities of the future, environment, automation, media, communication and IT, innovative services, demographic change and others.

History

The university’s roots go back to 1823 when the ‘Städtisches Polytechnikum’ (municipal polytechnic) was founded. The institute is named after the physicist Georg Simon Ohm, who worked at the institute, in one of its earlier forms, from 1833 to 1849. Ohm served both as a professor of physics and mathematics as well as rector of the university. The Greek omega logo used by the institute stands for the greatest discovery of Georg Simon Ohm - the Ohm's law of electrical resistance.

Research

Research at the Nuremberg Institute of Technology is application oriented and interdisciplinary cooperation is particulary encouraged. The university has partnerships with other educational institutions or universities, research organizations (or non-university research institutes), private companies, and professional or industrial associations. Students are also engaged in the research that happens on campus, which provides them particular experience and insight into the competencies needed for R&D in today's markets. The university has established institutes and centers around the following research themes or fields of expertise:

• Energie Campus Nürnberg - www.encn.de
• Nuremberg Campus of Technology - www.ncatec.de

OHM Competence Centers

In 2011, Nuremberg Tech in conjunction with the Bavarian State Ministry of Education, Science and the Arts first crystallized the need to make the core competencies of the institute more accessible to industry and the public sector. The OHM Competence Centers provide access to information and expertise on subjects at the intersection of faculty competencies. They have been integrated into the resource landscape of the Nuremberg metropolitan area and have strengthened the ties of the university to regional networks and companies. The following OHM Competence Centers have been established:

• Center for 3D-Visualizing
• Competence Center for Analytics, Nano- and Materials Technology
• Competence Center for Corporate Development, Management
• Accounting and Financial Control
• Competence Center for Energy Technology
• Competence Center for Finance
• Competence Center for Gender & Diversity
• Competence Center for Logistics
• Usability Engineering Center
• Environment Institute Neumarkt

Partnerships

Nuremberg Tech has more than 150 partnerships with other institutions of higher education around the globe. This facilitates international exchange and has also benefited its more than 1,100 foreign students from 96 countries.
