The Hochschule der Medien (HdM) is a public university in Baden-Württemberg that covers a broad spectrum of media expertise. Founded in 2001 through the merger of the Fachhochschule für Druck und Medien (HDM) and the Hochschule für Bibliotheks- und Informationswesen (HBI), it combines traditional and modern media disciplines.
Research at HdM is organized into two main fields:
Media Technologies: Engineering research across innovative technologies and computer science, with focus areas including printed electronics, digital image processing, and responsive and interactive media.
Social Sciences, Economics, and Media: Research on the economic, ethical, and social foundations of media development; the effects and perspectives of the digital transformation of society; and the development of tools to analyze and design solutions for society as a whole as well as individual media users. Additionally, legal, economic, and organizational aspects of media usage and media companies are explored.
Researchers at HdM work interdisciplinarily and maintain close cooperation with partners from industry and academia. Over the past few years, more than 50 major national and European research projects have been successfully completed.
The Institute for Applied Research (IAR) is HdM’s main platform for applied research, supporting companies in initiating and conducting research projects, securing public funding, and managing scientific activities
