Objectives of holistic development

All the objectives of holistic development are described in detail in our university development concept:

Our 2nd version of the university development concept has been available since August 2024.

Below you will find a brief summary of the vision and objectives in our performance/cross-sectional dimensions.

Performance dimensions

Vision & Objectives

We develop science-based solutions for the social challenges of the present and future. Our basic research forms the basis for the profitable transfer of research results to society. We see interdisciplinarity and the freedom of research and teaching as indispensable prerequisites for innovation. In our four key research areas Metrology, Mobility, Engineering for Health and Future City, our researchers therefore work on complex research questions across disciplines.

As one of the largest technical universities in Lower Saxony, we are integrated into powerful regional, national and international research networks. By creating excellent framework conditions for research and providing structured support for scientific careers, we promote our position in the competition for particularly talented scientists.

Our goals for the performance dimension of research:

We create critical masses and raise the potential in our research areas.
We utilise the full research potential of our Clusters of Excellence.
We attract, develop and retain talent.
We create attractive framework conditions for research.
We are developing our strong research region into a scientific ecosystem.

Vision & Objectives

We place the highest demands on the quality of our teaching. Our goal is for our graduates to be able to operate professionally in a changing society and working world and to play an active role in shaping it. As changemakers, they shape the future. Our degree programmes enable them to think and act in a future-oriented way.

We offer our teaching staff an extensive range of further training programmes to ensure that they meet the highest teaching standards. We achieve our quality standards together with our strong facilities, which provide the technical and spatial infrastructure, support services and quality management.

Our goals for the performance dimension of teaching and studying:

We have a distinctive study programme.
We offer the best study conditions and support.
Our degree programmes are geared towards socially relevant topics.
We anticipate social change and adapt our study programmes accordingly.

Vision & Objectives

We meet the global challenges of our time with a passion for innovation. We make the high-quality knowledge resulting from our research available to society and the economy quickly and easily, while at the same time absorbing impulses from society and the economy.

In the centre of one of the strongest research regions in Europe, we have strong regional ties with non-university research institutions and are constantly expanding these partnerships internationally. With our transfer activities, we are pursuing a path with the aim of generating impact, i.e. having an effect at the level of civil society, and offering spaces to jointly shape the transformation of the present for a better future. In our Transfer and Innovation Ecosystems (TIES), we are able to accelerate transfer through successful collaborations and partnerships that create added value.

Our goals for the transfer performance dimension:

We develop a broad understanding of transfer.
We are strategically expanding our network and relationship management.
We make our transfer structures and activities visible and create incentives to engage in various transfer activities.
We rely on digital tools and formats to network science with our partners from business, society and politics

Vision & Objektives

TU Braunschweig is characterised by horizontal and decentralised governance with associated business processes. We act transparently in the awareness of common goals. This makes decisions comprehensible and builds trust. The principle of subsidiarity applies.

Administration 4.0: Our innovative university administration is state-of-the-art in terms of its structures and processes, its development dynamics and its own continuous professionalisation. The university administration is service-orientated, responsible, sustainable, transparent, open-minded, digital and communicative. Together, we provide the best service for outstanding research, study & teaching and transfer and create freedom in our other performance and cross-sectional dimensions through our activities.

Goals for the performance dimension of governance and administration:

We lead the cultural change we have begun to success.
We contribute to an attractive working environment.
As a building owner, we are constantly modernising our research and teaching infrastructure and incorporate the interests of the entire university.
Our administrative staff are characterised by service orientation and agility.
