• Ethics, Technology Assessment, Sustainable Management (ETN)
• R&D User Center for Information and Communication Technologies (IKT)
• Designing with Plastics, with the focus on Jointing and Lightweight Construction (KmK)
• Laboratory for Safe and Secure Systems (LaS³)
• Sustainable Building and Historical Building Research (NBHB)
• Nanochem (NaCh)
• Electron-Optical and Optoelectronic Systems (LEOS)
• Robotics, Algorithms, Communication Networks and Smart Grid (RAKS)

Within these research units, researchers from Regensburg and Amberg-Weiden work together along the OTH core themes.

The research clusters generally offer multifaceted collaboration opportunities for industrial partners, SMEs and other universities of applied sciences.
