The focus of teaching is the consistently English-language master's degree program Global Foresight and Technology Management for German and international students. Interdisciplinary skills are taught there at the interface between technology, business and sociology with a strong foresight focus. The course is characterized by an innovative, strongly project study-oriented teaching concept.
Bavarian Foresight-Institute
The importance of future skills is growing due to the current changes in the economy, technology and society. On the one hand, foresight, strategy development, innovation capability, the development of modern business models and transformation management play a decisive role; on the other hand, companies are faced with the challenge of assuming social responsibility, assessing the consequences of technology and taking ethical implications into account in these dynamic changes.
Focus of the Foresight-Institute
The Bavarian Foresight Institute focuses on technology-oriented foresight research and the associated economic and social interdependencies with the intention to create synergies with the THI's technology-oriented research institutes, particularly in the areas of artificial intelligence, sustainability and mobility.
Research is carried out in an application-orientated context. Research results are incorporated into consulting projects, published in scientific publications and made available to the Bavarian Universities of Applied Sciences via adequate exchange forums coordinated by the Bavarian Foresight Institute, as well as transferred to industry and society. The institute advances young academics by supervising doctoral theses of the mainly third-party financed academic staff. Due to a close integration with various partners, the research institute will focus on third-party financed public projects as well as industry projects.
