About FIM

Networked throughout Bavaria

Research Center FIM

The Research Center Finance & Information Management is a Bavaria-wide and internationally recognised research institution which, in very close cooperation with the Fraunhofer FIT’s Branch Business & Information Systems Engineering Management and the course of studies Fnance & Information Management, uniquely combines research, practice and teaching at the interface of financial management, information management and business information technology. In these institutions, scientists* from Fraunhofer, the universities of Augsburg, Bayreuth, the Technical University of Munich and the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences work together productively and cooperatively across faculties and universities. Our team currently consists of around 70 research assistants* and over 140 student assistants*.

The unique Bavaria-wide networking with professors from different universities enables us to bundle different competences in the field of business informatics and related interface disciplines. The joint focus is on the investigation, economic evaluation and development of innovative solutions in the following areas:FIM: Practice, Research and Teaching

You can find an 8-page research supplement on the Fraunhofer Project Group for Information Systems published in the Augsburger Allgemeine here. It provides a comprehensive (but not conclusive) overview of our diverse research activities in the field of publicly funded research projects.

We use the knowledge and skills gained in our research in applied research projects with renowned partners in practice. This enables us to develop innovative and holistic solutions for individual problems in interdisciplinary teams.

In addition, we integrate companies into our teaching activities, e.g. through guest lectures or the co-support of seminar papers. Numerous renowned practice partners also support the master’s degree programme „Finance & Information Management“, which is organized in cooperation between the University of Bayreuth and the TU Munich, and the supplementary programme “Digital Leadership Academy“, which accompanies the studies.

The knowledge gained in research and practice flows into our numerous courses in several study programmes at different universities. In this way, we provide our students with knowledge that is relevant from both a theoretical and practical point of view, enabling them to solve complex practical problems using theoretically sound methods.
