On September 12, 2024, an important milestone was reached for the endowed professorship, which will take over the scientific management of the TTZ and thus further strengthen its innovative power and research expertise.
The foundation of the district of Fürth, the city of Stein and Stadtwerke Stein presented the donation to Ansbach University of Applied Sciences.
The TTZ Stein is working on improving training in emergency medicine, rescue services and hazard prevention with the help of digital technologies.
The research focuses on the use of virtual reality (VR) / augmented reality (AR), simulation and artificial intelligence (AI).
In cooperation with local companies, a supra-regional competence center for digital emergency medical education is to be created.
“The Board of Trustees of our district foundation has decided to provide the technology transfer center with a total amount of 25,000 euros. We assume that the TTZ will have a positive impact not only on Stein, but on the entire district, and we look forward to making the technology transfer center a success, also with the support of the district foundation,” said District Administrator Bernd Obst.
“For the town of Stein, the Stein Technology Transfer Center is an important facility on the future educational and cultural campus at Deutenbacher Straße 1 in Stein,” adds Stein’s First Mayor Kurt Krömer.
“From Stein, applied research will support emergency medicine in the future and thus save lives.”
In addition to the Fürth District Foundation and the town of Stein, other regional organizations and companies have also contributed to the funding of the endowed professorship.
These include Fürth Hospital, the Bavarian Red Cross, the Red Cross Foundation Fürth, the BRK – Regensburg Red Cross Foundation, Stadtwerke Stein, entrepreneur Thomas Sommer and ourselves.
As part of the Hightech Agenda, the Free State of Bavaria is funding the TTZ Stein with over five million euros, while the city of Stein is providing the premises.
