The Transfer Center TRACES

At the University of Stuttgart, more than 3,000 scientists work in around 150 institutes on excellent research and pioneering technologies. Their knowledge and developments make a decisive contribution to overcoming social challenges, making industrial processes more sustainable and improving people's everyday lives. The University of Stuttgart actively supports the transfer of this knowledge in a variety of ways - through strong regional roots, innovative partnerships and a close connection between science, business and society. The Transfer Centre TRACES plays a key role here, bundling and specifically promoting the various transfer projects.

TRACES is the central contact point for all transfer activities at the University of Stuttgart. We provide students and staff with comprehensive support for their transfer projects - from the initial idea to concrete implementation. Our aim is to initiate and strengthen partnerships between the university and external stakeholders from business, society and politics. We promote co-creative research and knowledge transfer and encourage entrepreneurial thinking at the university. Furthermore, we are an important network partner for start-up entrepreneurs and support students and graduates in their transition to professional life through our Career Service.
