Furthermore, the Centre for Research, Innovation and Transfer plans to further extend its application-oriented research, particularly in the natural sciences and engineering. In 2012, a zdi-Centre for the district of Kleve was established at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences. The joint initiative “Zukunft durch Innovation.NRW” (zdi) of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia aims to create interest of children in engineering, natural sciences as well as technical professions.
