Public Relations
We see ourselves as a central hub connecting academia, the public, and the media. Through our communication initiatives, we raise the profile of research, provide insights into campus life, and foster dialogue between the university, society, and regional and national partners. Our goal is to transparently highlight current developments, share our achievements, and actively shape the conversation around education and innovation.

Pforzheim University’s publications serve as a flagship for the university. They provide an initial platform for publishing research findings and new ideas, which can then be tested within the academic community by opening them up for discussion among a broader public.
