About us

The Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and Siemens AG have been partners for a long time.​
As a strong research university, competing for top positions in international rankings, FAU is a key partner in the Siemens research ecosystem.​

In 2015, FAU joined the exclusive circle of a Siemens Research and Innovation Ecosystem. Along with three other top universities in Germany, two in the US, one in Austria and one in China, FAU has proven to meet the highest standards.​

The Siemens RIE office at FAU serves as a direct interface between university researchers as well as students and researches from Siemens.​ Having access to a broad network, both at FAU and Siemens, the office facilitates new partnerships.
