FIM Research Institute for Information Management

The FIM Research Institute for Information Management is an internationally recognised inter-university research network in the field of business informatics, sponsored by the University of Bayreuth and Augsburg University of Applied Sciences. We strive for a world in which digitalisation is used responsibly for the benefit of individuals, the economy and society. In doing so, we aim to make a sustainable and tangible contribution to research, teaching and practice, as well as to the training of experts in the field of digitalisation!

Business Informatics Division of Fraunhofer FIT

The Business Informatics Division of Fraunhofer FIT, with sites in Augsburg and Bayreuth, brings together the ‘Digital Business’ and ‘Information Systems Engineering’ departments. In terms of content, Business Informatics at Fraunhofer FIT is characterised by a techno-economic perspective on issues relating to digitalisation, with a strong focus on business administration.

Our ambition is to cover topics in Business Informatics comprehensively, both in terms of content and methodology, at the highest level. Together with our partners from industry and society, we draw on our specialist and technical expertise to develop innovative solutions to specific problems. Our solutions take an integrated view of all levels of enterprise architecture, as well as the embedding of organisations within digital value networks.

Cooperation between FIM and FIT

In order to integrate the academic and non-academic activities of the participating chairs and professorships as effectively as possible, the FIM Research Institute for Information Management works closely with the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT), whose Business Informatics division was established in 2011 as a spin-off from the FIM Research Institute for Information Management. The vision of a world in which digitalisation is used responsibly for the benefit of individuals, the economy and society is thus to be fully realised. Most of the directors of the FIM Research Institute also hold senior positions at the Business Informatics division of Fraunhofer FIT.

Among other things, FIM-FIT is a member of the TEA network of transfer centres in the Augsburg region, which is open to cooperation with businesses.
