Technical expertise and commitment to research, teaching and sustainability

The university workshops at the University of Kassel

The university workshops at the University of Kassel are an indispensable part of the university's technical infrastructure. As central service providers, they support the university's various departments and make a significant contribution to the success of research and teaching. Their tasks include technical support in the development and maintenance of equipment and apparatus as well as the provision of comprehensive services in the fields of electronics, media technology, mechanics, carpentry and training.

The sustainable commitment of the university workshops is particularly noteworthy. Instead of buying new equipment when something can be repaired, there is a clear focus on repairing and reusing old equipment. This approach not only makes ecological sense, but also saves resources and costs. The workshops thus actively contribute to a more sustainable use of materials and appliances, which is of great importance in times of resource scarcity and environmental awareness.

Christian Lohrey, workshop manager in the electronics department, emphasizes: "It is always exciting to be involved in a wide variety of research projects." This enthusiasm for technological innovation and supporting research projects underlines the commitment of the university workshops, which act as a link between research and practical implementation. They not only offer repair services, but also valuable technical advice and contribute to the new and further development of devices and models. Especially in today's world, where sustainability is playing an increasingly important role, the university workshops make an important contribution to conserving resources and promoting a sustainable scientific culture.

The university workshops offer their services not only to students and teachers at the university, but also to other areas of the university. With many years of experience and a wide range of services, the employees support the various departments with their technical expertise.

Michael Nuhn, Managing Director of Uniwerkstätten, emphasizes that the team not only has in-depth technical knowledge, but is also constantly committed to the further development of the university and its projects. "As Uniwerkstätten, we are proud to make an active contribution to the university's numerous projects, using our specialist knowledge and creativity to find solutions to a wide range of challenges."
