(Press Office)Prof. Dr. Martin Synold has been re-elected as Vice President for Research and Young Academics at Coburg University of Applied Sciences for a further two and a half years. One of Prof. Dr. Martin Synold ‘s major goals during his first term of office as Vice President was to obtain the right to award doctorates at Coburg University of Applied Sciences.
This project has been doubly successful: Coburg got two: the independent doctoral center Analytics4Health and the doctoral center “Sustainable and Intelligent Systems (NISys)”, in which the universities of Coburg, Würzburg-Schweinfurt and Aschaffenburg work closely together.
A doctoral center also means that the applied sciences here can make an even greater contribution to forward-looking and socially significant issues.
“From health promotion and responsible artificial intelligence to sustainable energy and infrastructure systems and flood protection, our university conducts research into pressing issues that our society needs answers to.”
Synold also emphasizes the importance of social research for the development of our social cohesion.
The Vice President is very pleased with the successful work of Coburg as a science location.
For the future, he intends to further expand the research-promoting environment: “It is important to anchor the findings from applied research as directly as possible in society and the economy of our region.
I am delighted that I will be able to make the technology transfer centers a greater focus of my work during my second term of office.” The University Council, chaired by Dr. Andreas Engel, President of the Coburg Chamber of Industry and Commerce, re-elected Vice President Synold in June for a term of two and a half years.
The new term of office begins in October.
