Since the beginning of 2017, the SmartPro Research Network has been funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR). Around ten million euros have been provided within the funding initiative “Strong Universities of Applied Sciences \u2013 Impulse for the Region\u201c \u2212 \u201eFH-Impuls\u201c <\/strong>for short. The objectives of this initiative include sustainable expansion of the regional cooperation network, strengthening the university’s core research areas, and further developing the university’s research profile.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/smart-pro.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/BMFTR_Forschung_an_HAW_EN.png” alt=”SmartPro: FH-Impuls-Partnerschaft gef\u00f6rdert vom BMBF” title_text=”BMFTR_Forschung_an_HAW_EN” url=”https:\/\/www.forschung-haw.de\/fachhochschulen\/en\/home\/home_node.html” url_new_window=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”50%” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ ul_line_height=”1.8em” header_text_color=”#000000″ background_layout=”dark” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”15px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_line_height_tablet=”” text_line_height_phone=”1.9em” text_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n SmartPro is one of only ten “FH-Impuls” networks funded throughout Germany.

Around ten million euros have been provided within the funding initiative “Strong Universities of Applied Sciences \u2013 Impulse for the Region\u201c \u2212 \u201eFH-Impuls\u201c for short. The objectives of this initiative include sustainable expansion of the regional cooperation network, strengthening the university’s core research areas, and further developing the university’s research profile.SmartPro is one of only ten “FH-Impuls” networks funded throughout Germany. After the successful initiation phase (2017-2020), a four-year intensification phase was approved, which started in 2021. The focus is now on sustainably expanding as well as continuing the strategic research and transfer activities. The goal is to firmly establish the SmartPro network for long-term sustainability.”FH-Impuls” SmartPro NetworkThe SmartPro partnership at Aalen University aims to create the basis for smart products by linking smart materials and intelligent production technologies. Material and technology innovations developed within SmartPro offer solutions for social challenges such as climate protection, sustainability, and digital transformation.
