Introduction of the mobility database "Mobility-Online" (2017-2020)
After 3 years of implementing the core processes of the International Office in the mobility management software "Mobility-Online", students and employees of the HNU and its partner universities worldwide are now guided through their individual stay abroad completely digitally, from the online application for exchange places and scholarships to the preparation and realisation to the completion of the stay abroad. They can obtain detailed information about the partner universities in the integrated search portal (opens in a new window).
In everyday work, the use of Mobility-Online for exchange processing as well as in other areas such as financial management, partner and contact maintenance, statistics or course selection for international exchange students saves a lot of time thanks to automated processes and is also much more sustainable, as there is now almost no paper. As web-based software, Mobility-Online offers all users flexibility in terms of time and location when accessing it.
Research project with Australia: "Fake News"
The Center for Research on Service Sciences (CROSS), in collaboration with the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, is researching how fake news spreads on social media. For this purpose, an experiment was conducted with Facebook users to measure the individually attributed degree of credibility of news based on which actor spreads it.
Study with Australia and the USA: "A comparative Study of EMR Usage in USA and Germany"
The Center for Research on Service Sciences (CROSS), in collaboration with Swinburne University, Melbourne, Australia and the Fielding School of Public Health, UCLA, USA, conducted an extensive data collection in the clinical setting. The evaluation serves a cross-national study (USA and Germany) on usage patterns of digital patient records in hospitals. Recommendations for action are derived from a theory-based analysis of the nature and influence of national, systemic and organisational contexts on usage patterns.
Research project with Spain: "Hurting Others versus Hurting Myself, a Dilemma for Our Autonomous Vehicle" (2017-2019)
Prof. Dr. Oliver Kunze from the HNU, Dr. Miguel Luzuriaga and Dr. Antonio Heras, both from Universidad Complutense Madrid (UCM), Spain, have investigated the "trolley problem (opens in a new window)", a moral decision-making dilemma in autonomous driving, in a joint research project.
Research project with Singapore: "Decarbonisation of urban freight transport with electric vehicles and opportunity charging" (2014-2018)
As part of his doctorate, Dr. Tharsis Teoh and Prof. Dr. Oliver Kunze from the HNU conducted a joint research project (opens in a new window) in cooperation with Technische Universität München (TUM) and National University of Singapore (NUS) to investigate whether inner-city delivery transport can be carried out with battery-powered vehicles and which charging strategies are conceivable for which logistical scenarios, and which are promising under which conditions.
