DESCRIPTION
This BIP is for researchers, teachers and other staff members of the HEROES Alliance that work in the field of Computer Science and/or Cyber Security and are interested in the unique Deggendorf approach of Technology Transfer Centers/our research campuses: 

Since 2009, DIT has been successively establishing these special research facilities in the neighbouring districts in lower Bavaria and Oberpfalz.
Experts there develop special application-related solutions in close co-operation with high-tech companies. The symbiosis of scientific research and its commercial application is at the centre of this institutional work.
This close cooperation dynamizes the regional economy and sets new technological trends far away from urban areas. Companies benefit from access to DIT's laboratory and research capacities, while research interns and prospective graduates gain valuable industry contacts.

Participants will:

• Learn about the concept of our Technology Campuses (TC)
• Visit four campuses and explore cutting-edge technologies
• Meet the TC- staff for exchange and discussions
• Develop in a workshop feasible regional solutions by customizing the blueprint of a TC to their own university landscape
• Build a network with DIT researchers and the participants for further HEROES purposes
• Learn about the company’s approach to our TC – by visiting a company
• Discover the picturesque Bavarian Landscape
• Visit two beautiful Bavarian cities
• Gain Insights from academic and industry experts

Participating Technology Campuses:
TC Cham - Intelligent Robotics and Intelligent Production
