Research, teaching, and practical application are the main drivers of technological progress, continuously redefining the state of the art. For more than 30 years, IT-Designers has maintained close partnerships with regional universities:
- Esslingen University of Applied Sciences
- University of Tübingen
- Brunel University
- Technical Academy Esslingen
This collaboration has a long tradition. Joint activities include teaching assignments, industrial Ph.D. programs, theses, internships, and summer courses.
The internal Scientific Advisory Board advises the company on technical matters related to the current state of the art in computer science and related disciplines. It serves as an important instrument to promote the mutual transfer of knowledge between research and teaching on the one hand and practical application on the other.
