Students from Bremerhaven are developing an autonomous monitoring platform for the DLR to make ports safer
A team comprising three students from Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences and researchers has successfully modified and tested an autonomous boat fitted with sensors on Heligoland. In collaboration with the German Aerospace Centre (Deutsches Zentrum für Luf- und Raumfahrt), the students developed a modular platform for the boat which could improve the protection of maritime infrastructure in future.
Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences presents itself at the Science Mile
Once again this year, the “Pier der Wissenschaft” network invites you to find out more about the research carried out by institutions in Bremerhaven. At the Science Mile, visitors can look forward to fascinating exhibits, hands-on activities and exciting presentations for all age groups. From 12 to 14 August, Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences will also be offering exciting insights into current student and research projects. Admission is free.
The university has four research clusters in which it works on a broad range of topics to address the societal challenges of our times.

A clear priority in the university's research and development activities is the area of energy and marine technology. A considerable percentage of the university's third-party research funding can be attributed to this area.
Research activities in the life sciences are largely built on the expertise in the study programmes Biotechnology, Food Technology, Medical Technologies and Physician Assistant. Apart from marine research topics ranging from marine microbiology to fisheries biology, application-oriented research in the food sector is also of exceptional importance.
Linking the disciplines of 'logistics' and 'information systems' in one research cluster allows us to conduct applied research to identify, evaluate and realise potential for logistics and related areas. This is how we connect different areas, including such areas as digitalisation and maritime processes.
The research cluster Tourism and Management brings together research in the areas of the international tourism industry (esp. cruise tourism) and general management. In both areas, the focus is primarily on strategic issues and application-oriented, practical research.
