MINT-SPASS stands for the MINT Student Program for Unique Learning Locations in the Southern Palatinate. Since June 1, 2024, it has been part of the third funding round of the BMBF’s MINT-Cluster program. The project was jointly initiated by the Southern Palatinate Technology Network, Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences, and the Germers
The nationwide flagship project skills4chips aims to establish the national educational institution “Microtec Academy.” It effectively combines mechanical engineering (ME) and microsystems technology (MST).
Duration: 2024–2028
Applied Research Focus Areas
Integrated Miniaturised Systems (IMS) 139 Sustainable Materials Products and Processes (STAMP) 142 Interaction, Technology, Empirical Research and Application (ITERA) 141 Highly-Efficient Technical Systems (HTS) 2480
Interaction, Technology, Empirical Research and Application (ITERA)
The ITERA research cluster investigates and develops innovative solutions at the intersection of humans and technology.
We combine computer science and AI, engineering and design methodologies, and empirical research to develop human-centered solutions that are practical, releva
Our Profile
Today, more than ever, the development of human-centered technical systems requires close interdisciplinary integration of behavioral, social, and computer sciences, as well as engineering and design approaches. Technological innovation arises not solely from technical feasibility, but from a deep understanding of human needs, capabili
Facilities & Equipment "Mechatronics"
The laboratories in the Mechatronic Systems Working Group have a pool of equipment mainly financed by third-party funds. For the test and verification of mechatronic systems, a large number of test benches with corresponding measuring technology are available:
Electric engine test stands from 100 W to 45 K
