University of Paderborn

The University of Paderborn is guided by a central principle: "University for the Information Society". The strong field of computer science, information systems, and computer applications plus the interdisciplinary presence of IT in many of our subject areas establish an outstanding foundation for our pursuit of this principle. The teaching and research profile offered within the University's five faculties incorporates a broad and diverse range of subjects, covering the arts and humanities, economics and business administration, natural sciences and engineering. With a population of more than 19.930 students, the Campus University provides a clearly structured environment with excellent study and living conditions. Computer science and mechanical engineering in Paderborn are ranked among the best in Germany, while other subjects also perform excellently. This outstanding research status is underlined by the co-located Fraunhofer Institutes, Collaborative Research Centres (SFBs), Research Training Groups, and the NRW Graduate School of Dynamic Intelligent Systems which all play their part in bringing young academics and researchers from around the world to Paderborn for their studies and research. In January 2012 the technology-network “Intelligent Technical Systems Ostwestfalen-Lippe” (it`s OWL) was recognised as a German Ministry of Education and Research Leading-Edge Cluster.

With different departments/labs at the Faculty of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematics, Paderborn University has participated in several successful ITEA projects in the automotive or production domain, for example COMPACT, SPEAR, APPSTACLE, AMALTHEA, AMALTHEA4Public, TIMMO, TIMMO2USE, or VERDE.
