The Hamburger Informatik-Technologie-Center e.V. (HITeC)
HITeC
The research activities at the Department of Computer Science cover a wide range of areas, cooperating with partners from science and industry. HITeC is the department’s center for Research and Technological Transfer. Due to its independent status, HITeC can provide highly flexible, professionally designed solutions for cooperation. These solutions are based on the very latest research data and therefore offer the advantage of highly superior technology.
HITeC is a registered association, financed by members of the Department of Computer Science. The incorporated association is linked to the University of Hamburg by means of a cooperative contract.
