The institutes are connected to the HSG financially, conceptually and, above all, in terms of personnel; the responsible directors come from our professoriate. The institutes nevertheless operate as largely autonomous bodies that are operated like businesses. They are particularly active in the areas of research, further education and services, and in advising businesses and government departments.
The HSG institutes play a major role in training new researchers. They train institute staff at the interface between academia and the professional world. In turn, this precisely promotes the founding of spin-off companies from our environments.

Faculties and centres
The HSG centres are partnerships between HSG’s institutes and research institutes. The goal is the interdisciplinary cooperation on certain key issues. HSG centres are virtual centres that are not to be confused with the competence centres within the institutes. The new centres – which have existed since 2006 – also have a showcase function.
