There is a new cluster for parallel computing in NOCTUA. We offer regular courses and certifications (e.g. ITIL, SAP TERP10, CAPM).

We examine and design information systems in the digital transformation at all levels of action (individual, group, company, market, society) and analyse data using methods of optimisation and data science. Through excellent large-scale research projects (e.g. Collaborative Research Centre 901), international EU projects and collaboration with companies on the joint research campus on Zukunftsmeile 2, we design innovations for the digital society, for example in digital retail, disaster management, intelligent energy networks, electromobility and social participation.

The University of Paderborn provides the Excellence Start-up Centre.OWL and has a technology transfer and start-up centre in which infrastructure, technical advice, financing partners and networking opportunities are made available. In addition, many (Business Information Systems) chairs offer courses as preparation for start-ups, and the professors act as mentors for start-up teams. Many approved EXIST and NRW start-up grants are evidence of the entrepreneurial spirit and success of Paderborn students.
