Hochschule Hamm Lippstadt

Hochschule Hamm-Lippstadt (HSHL) is a University of Applied Sciences founded in 2009, with research and teaching activities in engineering, natural sciences, computer science and economics. Its research profile emphasises interdisciplinary collaboration, applied research and the transfer of scientific knowledge into practical applications. Within the proposed partner profile, HSHL brings together complementary expertise in environmental analytics, water quality/hygiene, health risk assessment, microbiology, molecular biological monitoring, embedded systems, sensor technologies, machine learning and digital agricultural applications.

The combined research capabilities cover both the analytical investigation of environmental samples and the development of digital technologies for data acquisition, processing, integration and decision support. This provides a basis for interdisciplinary research linking environmental measurements, agricultural monitoring, AI-supported analysis and resource-efficient production systems.

The research group's experience includes environmental and wastewater monitoring, laboratory-based analytical methods, drone-based agricultural data collection, machine-learning evaluation, digital twins, data pipelines and connected intelligent technical systems. Its project portfolio spans environmental sustainability, smart farming, energy-efficient AI, real-time systems and industrial technology transfer. This combination enables HSHL to contribute to collaborative research at the interface of environmental quality, digital innovation and sustainable agriculture. Within a European consortium, the group could work with agricultural research institutions, technology providers, farmers and specialists in soil science, hydrology, irrigation and nutrient management.
